Starred Review ALA Booklist

Starred Review This sequel to Finding Serendipity (2015) sees the charming return of aspiring author and spunky adventuress Tuesday McGillycuddy. Beginning with the vantage point of Vivienne Small, of Tuesday's novelist mother's books, readers learn that Vivienne's storied world, there, is in trouble: a winged dog has been fatally injured, and the Mountains of Margolov are literally puncturing the sky. So she does the only thing she knows to do ll Tuesday and her dog, Baxterr, to see if they can help. Meanwhile, in Tuesday's world, writers are disappearing and her parents fear for her safety. But Tuesday cannot resist the clarion call of adventure, so she enters the fictional world of there to help her friends and makes the shocking discovery that all worlds (real and imagined) are colliding and creating chaos. This novel is a little darker and more dangerous than its predecessor and requires more sacrifice from its characters, but it still retains a playful spirit, thanks in large part to the characters themselves. All the worlds are fully rendered, and themes of imagination, courage, family, sacrifice, and friendship are beautifully explored. Fans of Edith Nesbit, Michael Ende's The Neverending Story (1979), and Roderick Townley's The Great Good Thing (2001) have a new home with Banks.
