The Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz
It has to be a dream, Mal told herself. This couldn't be real. She was sitting by the edge of a beautiful lake, on the stone floor of an ancient temple ruin, eating the most luscious strawberry. The forest all around her was lush and green, and the sound of the water rushing at her feet was soothing and peaceful. Even the very air all around her was sweet and fresh.
"Where am I?" she asked aloud, reaching for a plump grape from the gorgeous picnic set before her.
"Why you've been in Auradon for days now, and this is the Enchanted Lake," answered the boy seated next to her.
She hadn't noticed him until he spoke, but now that she had noticed, she wished she hadn't. The boy was the worst part of this - whatever this was - tall, with touseled honey-brown hair, and painfully handsome with the kind of smile that melted hearts and made all the girls swoon.
But Mal wasn't like all the other girls, and she was starting to feel panicked, like she was trapped here somehow. In Auradon, of all places. And that it might not be a dream -
"Who are you?" she demanded. "Are you some kind of prince or something?" She looked askance at his fine blue shirt embroidered with a small golden crest.
"You know who I am," the boy said. "I'm your friend."
Mal was instantly relieved. "The this is a dream," she said with a crafty smile. "Because I have no friends."

I love the library so much. I would never want to own this book, but it was so much fun reading the book and queueing posts for my livejournal. And baby Dove Cameron is so cute.
