In this "wildly imaginative, occasionally haunting fantasy anchored by strong, evolving female characters" (Kirkus Reviews), Mad Max meets Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children for a dystopian adventure of "freewheeling imagination" (John Berendt). When young ElizabethAnn falls through a portal, she must save her new home by befriending royalty, manipulating monkeys, and redefining the relationship between magic and technology.
The day ElizabethAnn's beloved, eccentric grandmother is confined to "a home," they dive together, through a portal, into the land of Bumblegreen. There, an imbalance between magic and technology is destroying an ancient world filled with mad magicians and dangerous people/animal hybrids. ElizabethAnn must solve the mystery of Bumblegreen's deadly blight or she and Grandma will be caught between worlds, without any home at all.
Thirteen-year-old Queen Dahlia was forced to be Bumblegreen's monarch when her parents died suddenly, but if she can't resolve this land's blights, diseases, and disasters, "off with her head" might be the last words she hears. The Duchess, meanwhile, wants nothing more than to reunite with her sons, who, by law, are being raised by talking monkeys. Tammy, the duchess' personal chef, is pregnant by a deadbeat named Fast Eddie who left her with a desire for the ultimate vengeance. When The Duchess tries to overthrow Queen Dahlia and Tammy obtains black magic from a magician's lair, their schemes threaten to destroy Bumblegreen once and for all ... or will ElizabethAnn and Queen Dahlia learn, together, to harness their powers to save Bumblegreen, even if claiming those powers could destroy childhood itself?
