Book two of the Landon Snow series takes the reader back to Button
Up, Minnesota. Landon and his family have returned for a visit to his
grandparent’s home and the town’s big library. Landon knows his
remarkable adventures on his previous trip were real and he wonders
if the tunnel to the library will lead him to his friends Melech, Ditty
and Vates again.

When Landon tells his sister, Holly, about his adventures in
Wonderwood, she listens but doesn’t really believe. But she agrees to
meet him after everyone else goes to bed. When she joins him that
evening, strange things happen once again in Grandpa Karl’s study.
Shadows move, Bible pages turn, and the bookcase swings wide
revealing the tunnel. Now Holly believes Landon and she goes with
him to the magical land inhabited by gnome-like creatures known as
Odds.

They arrive during a war between the powers of light and the
shadows of Malus Quidam. His puppet, the leader of the Odds, takes
Holly and places her under his spell. Landon finds his old friends and
together they must set Holly and the rest of the Odds free. When the
Auctor reveals the way through a vision, Landon must be courageous
and trust the Auctor’s plan to break Malus Quidam’s power.

Mortenson again delivers an adventure with characters that children
are sure to love. The sequel offers a much stronger storyline than the
first in the series and develops the characters more. The book
conveys biblical truths to children in a delightful tale.
