This short piece is packed with emotion and wonder.  When 13-year-old Kat dies unexpectedly she awakens in a strange place and must quickly learn how to get along with the others already there.  The prose flows robustly at a good clip, and I was constantly surprised and often intrigued by the unfolding of the events in this story.  Kat seems always to be at odds with both the system and the others in the realm which leads to a few nail-biting encounters.  I enjoyed this odd little tale and thought the author did a particularly fine job giving Kat a voice. I also am the oldest of my siblings, and could easily relate to many of Kat's complaints and concerns.  I am thankful to have been reminded in such an entertaining manner of the special bonds shared with those whom we love, yet may often take for granted. I would love to read more adventures from the Land of the Lost. There are other characters there that need their stories told, as well.This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation.Reviewed by Laurie-J
