But twelve-year-old Liam O'Connor isn't so sure that she's lying. Deep down, he believes that her stories might be true... though he would never admit this out loud or people will think that he is crazy too. Nonetheless, Liam is far from thrilled when his great aunt passes away and unexpectedly bequeaths her farm in Merlin, Oregon, complete with chickens, rickety outbuildings and 104 forested acres, to him. Liam doesn't want to move from his home in California to the middle of nowhere, Oregon. Liam thinks that Merlin will be boring, but he can't be more wrong. When he stumbles upon a radiant, egg-shaped rock, he is thrust into a world of magic and mystery. Liam soon discovers that his family is full of long-buried secrets, and small-town Merlin is far more complicated than it appears. Liam must learn to trust himself, his new friends, and an extraordinary bond with an enchanted creature as they fight to save a hidden utopia from sinister forces beyond Liam's wildest imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilled with heart, humor, and breathtaking imagination, this beautifully written story invites readers into a land where bravery grows, friendships matter, and even the smallest choices can shape an entire world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for ages \u003cstrong\u003e8 to 13\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSigmund \u0026amp; The Land Beyond\u003c\/em\u003e blends fantasy, adventure, and emotional depth to create a story that kids will want to read again and again.
