So a decent book that expands on the origional story and develops the underlying problems. They have come back to a world that isn't quite right. Now they need to fix it. I was really enjoying the read until I reached cliffhanger number two. Not a problem except there is no book three and am unsure as to whether there ever will be. As a result I must say read at your own risk.

Really cool story for any Oz lovers. Can't wait for the next one. These cliffhangers come out of nowhere

This is the sequel to Little Boy Lost. We follow Taylor and Wesley after they were lost in the library the day before and they come to find out that their actions the day before have had consequences not only in Oz but in their own world as well. They head back to the library to find The Librarian to fix what they have broken and reset the story and get their lives back. When they arrive at the library, the find that the Librarian has already returned to Oz to set things to rights, but his assistant Hope is there to help them. Hope isn't exactly helpful though. Taylor figures out what she needs to do to fix her mistakes from the previous day and won't let anyone stop her.
Also in Oz are Randy and Douglas and Bones, who have their own agenda. I'm still not 100% clear on what Douglas is up to, but I'm hopeful that will be all cleared up in book 3. Bones and Randy don't really play much of a part in this Wizard of Oz retelling. This is definitely darker than the first book which was fun and whimsical. This has a more YA feel while the first one had a more middle grade feel. Then again I haven't read the original Oz books so I'm not sure how dark or violent it is so I'm not sure if it compares.
I like the original take on a classic tale. The characters are decent and the friendship between Wes and Taylor is great. This does end on a cliffhanger like book 1, but I do feel like the story this book has to tell was complete. They finished what they set out to do, and while there is more to tell this part of the story was told. Book 3 is out now, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the tale ends.

Having been so long since I read "Little Boy Lost", I was a little confused at first about the story. I remembered Wesley being the class nerd and Taylor being his loyal friend. What a shock to find out that time had been changed and Taylor was not considered a good girl or a good friend anymore. As usual, the plot of the book is fantastic - going in and out of Oz and changing the story of the book.
I love the character interactions in the book - the adults influencing the kids and the kids having to make their own decisions about right and wrong.
Can't wait for #3!

Another cute book. Guess there are no more so another cliffhanger ending kind of sucked. Fun for what it was, not the best thing ever.

This came out in 2012 and ended with a cliffhanger!!!
With that said this was better then the first one and we got to see more of Oz which was exciting! The characters got on my nerves at different parts of the book but not too much. Wish there was more books coming out since it said to be continued and ended with a freakin cliffhanger but I guess not.
