-ANDY REYNOLDS, AUTHOR OF AXEBOY'S BLUES AND SPECTACLE OF THE EXTENSION Another fantastical dip into the world of dreams, The Land of Mar is both exquisitely written and beautifully illustrated.  -MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW Especially recommended for children ages 6 to 12, "The Land of Mar" will prove to be enduringly popular additions to family, elementary school, and community library collections. Storyline After defeating the mad Maestro, and saving her dream of dancing, Desdemona is once again presented with a challenge. A mysterious figure in her dreams tells her that she must right the wrongs in the Land of Mar. To accomplish this task, Desdemona must stop the dread pirate Moren and his wicked crew from destroying dreams. A jovial faerie by the name of Puck joins her in the land of lost dreams, as they seek out the court of the King of Mar in the hopes that he will help Desdemona find Moren. But, as always, nothing is quite as easy as it seems, and Desdemona must use her courage and wit to solve the problems that lie ahead. This is the second volume in the fully-illustrated fairy tale series, Desdemona's Dreams - A tale of high adventure, illustrating the beauty of dreams, and exploring how imagination may be the key to discovering who we're meant to be. WHAT MAKES THE DESDEMONA'S DREAMS SERIES DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CHILDREN'S BOOKS? This series is beautifully put together in a hardback format, making it even more collectible. Where most children's picture books tend to be 500-1000 words of story and 28-32 pages, this series is 60 or more pages in each book, with over 4,000 words of story in volume 1, that doubles in volume 2, and will increase with each volume. The creators of the series want the books to evolve with the readers and become a fully immersive experience.  They offer free digital download audiobooks (set to music with effects, in a read-along style for children not quite at the reading level yet) for every reader that signs up for the Desdemona's Dreams Newsletter on their website  https://desdemonasdreams.com/
