What a wonderful—and credible—world Lynne Shaner has created. She makes magic seem the norm in this classic tale of good versus evil while weaving in parallels to the very real world we humans inhabit. I shuddered at the politics and strife that so sadly reflect our society and delighted in the science she so deftly incorporates. A job well done, with the happy promise of more to come in this new series.

Jouney to Everland Bay weaves the contemporary world into a magical world with originality and urgency. It is like a battle between fast-moving steel and slowly falling rose petals, never forgetting the cost of progress or what true destruction looks like. It is iridescent at its core, a shimmering and ethereal reminder that sometimes, the old ways are best.

For those of us forced to accept that our Hogwarts letter is sadly never going to arrive, Lynne Shaner’s new book, Journey to Everland Bay, is an opportunity to find magic in the everyday world again. And what magic it is!
From knitting bags that transform into a wearable bracelet, to tiny pocket fairies, to a dragon that can scale her size down smaller than a teacup or up as large as a house. I want to sit and enjoy a cup of tea with so many of these characters. I’m just going to have to move to Everland Bay!
