Description

Peter is a restless teen from Philadelphia, stuck in a rainy attic with a battered baseball mitt and a couple of mysterious sacks. When a stray gold coin tumbles from one of the bags, it whisks him away from the stormy city and drops him in front of a curious yellow cottage—an enormous hollowed pumpkin perched in a patch of orange vines. Inside, he discovers a doorway to Oz, a land he’s already saved from mischievous kings and talking scarecrows, and he can’t help but wonder what new wonders await.

The story follows Peter as he steps back into a familiar yet ever‑changing Oz, where he meets quirky allies like the Iffin and the bearded baron, and confronts fresh puzzles in places such as Scare City and Baffleburg. Along the way, his quick wit and love of baseball blend with the magic of talking trees and enchanted flags, creating a lively adventure that feels both nostalgic and fresh for anyone who’s ever dreamed of a world just beyond the ordinary.
