WIZARD OF OZ MEETS INDIAN CROCODILE DUNDEE
Darby Brown is anxious to get her valedictorian speech done at graduation so she could focus on earning a history degree and living life away from high school’s depressing social scene. She never imagines being whisked away in a storm like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
One thing’s for sure––she doesn’t land on the yellow brick road. Instead she’s held captive by the Roque tribe. How can her book smarts or brain power help her survive with a tribe that isn’t even mentioned in the history books?
Tokobe’s father went missing five years earlier, and so did half of his Circle of Life Emblem. When Darby shows up with the stone, he frees her against his people’s wishes. He thinks she’ll be able to lead him to his missing father, but she doesn’t even know where she is, much less how the mysterious emblem stuck to her cell phone.
The two find themselves caught in a middle of a tribal feud fueled by betrayal and secrets. The longer Tokobe protects her, the more she questions if her happiness needs to involve more than her academic goals. Darby must find her own courage and open her heart if she’s ever to get home.

About the author
Danette J. Hansen
4 books67 followersI wasn't interested in writing until later in my life, but thinking back to my childhood, I named everything I liked so I guess it's fitting that I now give names to characters in stories. The problem now is I have too many ideas and not enough time in the day. I'm a mother of four beautiful children, who are growing up much too fast. I'm married to the best guy in the world! We live in Northern Utah nestled in the mountain side.

I really liked this story. I loved the characters in this story. Darby seemed like a very real teenager. I liked her courage. Tokobe was my favorite. I liked how he had the courage to help Darby and stand up for what is right. I thought the development of the two main characters was great. I felt like I knew them well by the end of the story. I enjoyed how their friendship came about and grew. I thought the concept of this book was interesting and believeable.
