In 2013, fantasy author Ron Glick broke away from his epic fantasy series and journeyed into the faery realms of Oz and Wonderland to chronicle the adventures of the classic heroines, Alice Liddell and Dorothy Gale. The result was a modern-day high fantasy series exploring the uncharted history shared between the two magical worlds. Last year, Glick expanded his magical realms to introduce Neverland into his masterful reworked Victorian-era fantasy. In the original trilogy, Alice Liddell and Dorothy Gale united to save Oz, Wonderland and the Looking Glass World. But the Cheshire Cat warned that there were more faery realms that needed to be found, which led our heroines on a quest last year to meet Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, and eventually a journey into Neverland. Meanwhile, the Wicked Witch Mombi is still plotting against the good forces of all the mystical realms united. Now the series resumes with 'Peter of Oz,' where Alice and Dorothy must journey into the Dark Heart of Neverland to confront both Mombi and an oddly changed Glinda the Good. Meanwhile, Toto follows his own clues in a search for a way to stop the Cheshire Cat - a threat that only he seems aware even exists. The Oz-Wonderland series has been by far Ron Glick's most well-received series. Now, with the fifth release further delving into the secrets of the Wicked Witches and their origins of Oz, Wonderland and Neverland, Glick sets the foundation for an ongoing adventure that promises to bring these classic stories into their own epic scale for years yet to come. 'This book has had me on edge and now it's torturing me! You've got to read this book! I give it a rating of 10 out of 10 as it has literally got me wanting more!' - L.
