Time slides around the world so strangely ...
It's not easy being Princess Ko.
Her family is missing, taken to the World through cracks in the Kingdom, which were then sealed tightly behind them.
Now Princess Ko is running the Kingdom, and war is looming.
To help her find her family, she gathers a special group of teens, including Elliot Baranski of the Farms. He's been writing secret letters to a Girl-in-the World named Madeleine Tully - and now the Kingdom needs her help.
Madeleine and Elliot must locate the missing royals, convince them of their true identities, and figure out how to unlock the dangerous cracks between the Kingdom and the World.
All before their enemies can stop them.

Customer Reviews
Continues the bizarre and extraordinary tone!
This is a great sequel by JM, with the same mad hatter style banter she does best. Would've given her 5 stars this turn but I found the story started a tad slowly, but still! The action kicks off mid-book and doesn't really stop from there. A great set up for the big conclusion!
Thank you. :)
Beautiful, heart-warming, nuanced, and intensely imaginative. A sparklespin of whirlshine!
Thank you for writing this, Jaclyn! :) and now, I have to wait for book 3...
