About This Book

A Kansas girl is swept from a storm-tossed ship into a marvelous foreign realm where she befriends a talkative yellow hen and a clockwork man. Together they traverse enchanted countries, encounter familiar companions such as a straw figure and a tin man, and discover that a young ruler has been captured by a subterranean monarch who turns people into possessions. The companions mount a rescue, face magical deceptions, and rely on courage, cunning, and a powerful charm to reverse the enchantments, resolve competing claims among neighboring realms, and arrange the girl's return home.
