Background
The book was
Celeste Buckingham's first exposure to the public prior to her musical career, which began in 2011.
The book describes the child authors as "sisters who were eleven and nine when they wrote this book. Both are Americans but live with their parents in the Slovak Republic. Celeste attends middle school and loves dancing, swimming, music and reading. Carmel is in the fifth grade and loves fairy-tales and reading".
The plot of the book in some ways bears a resemblance to the
11th canonical "Oz" book, ''
The Lost Princess of Oz'' (1917).
Plot
The books follows two sisters. The younger is kidnapped, and the older sister must find her and bring her back to the family.
