I'd like to visit Doon (from Lori Langdon and Cori Corp's Doon series). There's pizza and Scottish princes and an amazing spell cast over the town by God. I'd also like to visit Narnia - they have unicorns! And of course, Santa Clause and Aslan :) Third, I'd like to visit Dryzza from the Dryzzian Legends series to get an even closer look at Sonji (a magic white mare) and the unique desert kingdom where folks can meet the Creator in person.(less)

Jessica A. Tanner, Sonji

“Rupert yearned for someone to speak to him as this stranger did to a rat.”
Jessica A. Tanner, Peaflower: A Princess and the Pea Retelling

I am the girl who can see what no one else can.
I matter, At least this once.”
Kara Swanson, The Girl Who Could See

“So many books, so little time.”
