Where did that balloon come from? And why were bags of Emeralds tied to the side? Miss Jennie Grierson and Doctor Morgan Fiddledog tumble together inside the basket, with Toto dangling down below. The three of them are blown away on an adventure to the castle of an old witch in the strange and curious Land of Oz. The proud remainder of a once-great southern family must learn to get along with the snake oil salesman if she is to have any chance to survive in this land of talking and Winkie guards and flying monkeys. And also the little dog.

Ten years have passed. Charlie fears his love of fairylands has ruined him. Jessica needs to save her sister from following the path of her lost and alcoholic mother. Doug Robbins' marriage is coming unraveled, and the state almost never sends children to OzHouse anymore. Should they look to fairylands for help? Or do fantasies just make things worse? No one has dared the magic doorway in years, but maybe there are answers there. Can Charlie renew his art? Can Doug renew himself? Can Jessica find a better place for her sister and her sister's doomed children? Perhaps the answers are tied to the fate of the one they left behind, poor, little Buddy Samson. Perhaps they need to find him. But first, they'll have to face the devil.

OzHouse is threatened when foster children start to disappear-again. Years ago it was Suzy Bishop. Now it's little Buddy Samson and Jessica Holton. In the desperate search to find the children, no one could guess that Buddy is wandering the streets of Mother Goose Land in search of his family, who have perished in a fire, or that Jessica, to find him, is opening dangerous doors in one magical world after another until all of fairyland is threatened, from the Forest of Grimm to the Emerald City of Oz. No one, but Charles Emerson. And he can't tell.
