Once upon a time, in a lively little town, there was a mischievous group of friends who loved causing trouble. Their names were Max, Lily, and Sam. One sunny day, they found themselves bored at home and decided to sneak into their school after hours.

As the mischievous trio entered the school, they realized that something strange was happening. The walls were decorated with colorful posters, and the desks were neatly arranged. They heard a daunting noise that echoed through the hallways.

Following the noise, they tiptoed their way to the school library. To their surprise, all the books had come to life! The characters from the stories were roaming around, chatting and laughing. The friends were amazed and slightly terrified.

The mischievous friends decided it was their duty to solve this problem. They found the head librarian, Miss Jenkins, who seemed to be in a panic. 'Our school is having a literary festival tomorrow, and the story characters have magically escaped their books,' she explained.

Max, Lily, and Sam put on their thinking caps and came up with a plan. They decided to capture the runaway characters by using their knowledge of each story. With teamwork, they managed to lure the characters back into their books, one by one.
