BACK TO THE RIDDERLANDS

The Ridders #3

Childrens

Melissa Ruth Rotert

Six years have passed since their first adventure, and Jessie is trying to prepare herself for Sue B and Barnaby to head off to college. But she’s not ready to say goodbye to her sister, who intends on moving all the way across the country for school. When their planned bonding night is disrupted by a Barnaby blunder, Jessie panics that Sue B is going to spend the rest of her time at home moping around and crying—leaving no room for sisterly QT.


That is, until a familiar seed and touch of magic gives Jessie the idea for an impromptu visit to the Ridderlands, where they can all sort out their problems and return reconnected. After all, Ritter is gone, so the place has to be safe—right?


. . .


"Back to the Riddlerlands continues the fun and fantasy of the Ridderlands series with a story told from Jess's perspective. With her sister's impending leave for college looming, Jess has some unresolved feelings to work out with Sue B about the fact that she's about to be left behind. And when Jess uses magic to meddle in Sue's relationship with Barnaby-- and transport them all back to the Ridderlands-- things get extra messy and complicated. Jess is smart and brave, and throughout their magical mishaps, she eventually comes to realize that she doesn't need Sue B to solve all her problems for her anymore. She's strong enough to stand on her own two feet."
