Summary

In 'The Magical Land of Noom,' Johnny Gruelle charts a fantastic voyage that sails beyond the confines of a child's imagination into a universe of whimsical wonder. Through the adventures of Johnny and Janey, Gruelle weaves a tapestry of narrative magic where the backdrop of space serves as a canvas for a world as sweet and tangy as the lemonade springs it boasts. With a literary style reminiscent of the Carrollian tradition, the book delivers a timeless flight into fancy, set against the early 20th-century backdrop when space represented the pinnacle of uncharted mystery and potential. 'The Magical Land of Noom' resonates with the innocence of pretend play blooming into an epic odyssey, saturated in the fantastical and the surreal. Johnny Gruelle's artistic pedigree, most famously associated with his creation of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, is on full display in 'The Magical Land of Noom.' Gruelle's penchant for bringing endearing characters to life who embody the joys and virtues of childhood, finds a new dimension in this tale. The spirit of exploration and the celebration of pure, unadulterated imagination which fueled Gruelle's dolls, resonate in Johnny and Janey's exploits. It's plausible that Gruelle's own experiences as a father and storyteller for a convalescent daughter catalyzed his blend of wonderment and tenderness that are the hallmarks of his literary endeavors. Scholars and enthusiasts of early children's literature will find this novel an enchanting departure from Gruelle's more familiar body of work, inviting a rediscovery of an author who mastered the art of enchanting children of all ages. 'The Magical Land of Noom' beckons those yearning for an escape into a simpler time, where joy was as abundant as the lemonade springs, and adventures were as easily found as turning a page. It's an essential read for avid collectors and new fans alike, serving not only as a delightful narrative but also as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling in nurturing the human spirit.

Is Abby getting closer to finding the true murderer? Or is someone leading her down a twisted false path? 
 
“The Deadly Sister is riddled with red herrings and told by an unreliable narrator, which make the surprise ending all the more shocking. Well-drawn characters, realistic dialogue, and suspenseful twists and turns add to the appeal. Teens crave mystery, and this book will suit them just fine.” —School Library Journal (starred review) 
 
“The page-turning action and the potent relationship between the two sisters will keep teens’ attention right up to the final confession.” —Booklist 
 
“Let me tell you, The Deadly Sister was so creepily good, I would rather you read it yourself . . . Eliot Schrefer is the author of another thrillingly creepy book—and serious page-turner—The School for Dangerous Girls. The Deadly Sister is a great follow-up and a perfect read-alike.” —ThisGrrlReads 
 
“The Deadly Sister is a perfect summer thriller.” —TeensReadToo
