About this book

In this zany, second-person adventure, the reader teams up with the narrator to revisit the day you both tumbled into the Land of Lost Things—a place where missing socks, pencils, and all sorts of oddities find new lives. The story races from one outrageous scene to the next with silly jokes, surprise twists, and playful asides that make kids feel like part of the action. Fast-paced chapters and lots of humor make it a great pick for reluctant readers and fans of the Treehouse books. It’s perfect for middle-grade readers who enjoy wild adventures, interactive-feeling storytelling, and laugh-out-loud fun.
