In the strange and wondrous Land of Fantasië, where Tlotguskies with neon clothes and twisted hairstyles live in mushroom houses and drink Flog, thirteen-year-old Donemtchí dreams of adventure beyond her village of Cutloretical. Armed with nothing but a treasured map, a knife, and the constant refrain to "get up and go," Donemtchí embarks on a journey to discover what lies beyond the mysterious Gloleaf Glen--a place no explorer has ever mapped. When she encounters Irikó, a boy escaping a dark past, they become unlikely companions drawn together by shared courage and curiosity. Their adventure takes an unexpected turn when they discover a secret river missing from all maps, leading them to a hidden realm filled with forgotten history and long-buried mysteries. As they uncover secrets about their own heritage and stumble upon a deep-rooted conflict, Donemtchí and Irikó must rally unlikely allies to face dangers that threaten everything they've come to love. With glowing fireflies, fearsome creatures, and a backwards language waiting to be decoded, "The Land of Oddities" is a tale of friendship, identity, and the courage to create your own path when the maps you've been given prove incomplete. Perfect for fans of the Wingfeather Saga and readers who love discovering imaginative new worlds.
