over the woodward wall by a deborah baker

Not that Over the Woodward Wall isn’t perfectly understandable and enjoyable without having read any of the above. If Alice was the great-grandparent, Narnia and Oz were the grandparents and Seanan McGuire’s Middlegame was the parent – perhaps with her Wayward Children series as the aunts and uncles – you’d get something like Over the Woodward Wall, and hopefully the following books in The Up-and-Under series, as the book-children. If Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was the grandparent book, and Narnia and Oz were the parent books – but wait, there’s another generation in there. On an unplanned detour from home to school one morning, Avery and Zib find themselves climbing over a stone wall into the Up and Under – an impossible land filled with mystery, adventure and the strangest creatures.Īnd they must find themselves and each other if they are to also find their way out and back to their own lives. They live on the same street.They live in different worlds. But where everything Avery does and is can be measured, nothing Zib does can possibly be predicted, except for the fact that she can always be relied upon to be unpredictable. Zib is also an exceptional child, because all children are, in their own way. Everything he does is precise, from the way he washes his face in the morning, to the way he completes his homework – without complaint, without fuss, without prompt. If you trust her you’ll never make it home…Īvery is an exceptional child. Purchasing Info: Author's Website, Publisher's Website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo,
