Sky Island: Being the Further Exciting Adventures of Trot and Cap'n Bill After Their Visit to the Sea Fairies
1912
Trot and Cap'n Bill are back, and this time they're reaching for the sky. After their undersea adventure with the Sea Fairies, the plucky girl and her sailor companion discover that Button-Bright's umbrella is no ordinary thing - it can fly them to Sky Island, a fantastical realm floating high above the clouds. Here, Baum's boundless imagination takes flight. The trio encounters a kingdom of peculiar characters: the imperious Boolooroo, six princesses with suspiciously identical snubbed noses, a queen who prides herself on having nothing, a witch named Rosalie, and a wolf the color of twilight. Not everything in the sky is friendly, though, and soon Trot, Cap'n Bill, and Button-Bright must find their way home. Baum's storytelling crackles with the same warmth and wit that made Oz famous, but Sky Island has its own strange magic - one where poverty is a virtue, royal decrees govern the most trivial matters, and adventure waits around every cloud. For readers who believe the best stories happen when you look up.
