Return To The Land Of And: A Young Adult Adventure - Book 2 - Hardcover

By the time Lillie returns, life outside her room feels louder than ever. School deadlines, shifting friendships, and the pressure to stay "put together" weigh her down, and the truths she once carried begin to fade. When she finds herself pulled back into the Land of And, the signs that used to guide her are buried under vines of doubt, twisted into messages that sound more like accusations than comfort. Rosie still sparkles, Iris still steadies, but neither can do the work for her.

This story meets readers at the messy middle ground between childhood and adolescence, when doing nothing can feel easier than risking too much. Here, Lillie discovers that staying silent is still a choice, and that becoming more sometimes means speaking up, stepping forward, and letting herself be seen even when it's uncomfortable. Return to the Land of And encourages pre-teens to hold their contradictions with courage, and to remember that boldness isn't the absence of fear-it's learning to walk with it.
