Maddie in the Land of the Goats: About a Little Girl and her Best Friend (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781693672392)

With the very first sentence, we find ourselves in the Land of the Goats - a dream like world where the little girl, Maddie, sets out on an exciting adventure with her best friend, Emma the Goat, to the great City Beyond the Mountains. Along their journey, they meet many extraordinary characters: the Odd Little Boy (who creates sandwiches with his mind!), the Man who Lives Inside Books (is it too late for another adventure?), the Money Machine (super cool, but mixed up inside!), and the mind blowing band, Evolving Octopus and the Quantum Dragonfly (complete with sheet music!). Together, Maddie and Emma learn of the terrible plans of the City, and find that they alone must figure out how to stop its wicked intentions for their beloved home - the Land of the Goats.

In the tradition of timeless children classics such as The Phantom Tollbooth, The Secret Garden, and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Maddie in the Land of the Goats celebrates the power of friendship, faith in a beautiful future, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead for those that follow their dreams.
