Book Review: Please Return to the Lands of Luxery by Jon Tilton

 


Please Return to the Lands of Luxury - Jon Tilton - 4 Stars - A fun middle grade dystopian story!


What a fun middle grade dystopian story! Great characters and a heartwarming story with life lessons for kids. 4 stars!

This story is all about a young girl, Jane, who lives in a junkyard with her friends and others. We see it as its own little world. One day, Jane finds a doll that has a note on it to return to a totally different world. She is determined to return this little doll to its rightful owner so she embarks on the quest to do so. Her 2 friends, Timothy and Rodney realize she is gone and they set out to find her. Jane finally makes it to where she can return the doll but realizes the owner is no longer there. She meets someone that helps her find the rightful owner and boy is it an adventure! This doll leads her to a couple who hasn't been able to have children of their own and they feel it's the right time to adopt and help this young girl. What happens next will keep you guessing as we follow Jane and her friends along the way.....

Really enjoyed the story as we see great themes of friendship, doing the right thing, helping others, forgiveness, bravery, and so much more in this short story. That is something I always want in a good middle grade! The world was also very interesting here. I did want a little more story at the end after everything "happened" but overall enjoyed the story and think it's perfect for kids/teens.

Thank you to the author for sending me a copy of the audiobook to honestly read and review. The narrator does a great job!
