When things go bad at home, sisters Eleanor and Mike hide in a secret place under Eleanor's bed, telling monster stories. Often, it seems those stories and their mother's house magic are all that
keep them safe from both busybodies and their dad's temper. But when their father breaks a family heirloom, a glass witch ball, a river suddenly appears beneath the bed, and Eleanor and Mike fall
into a world where dreams are born, nightmares struggle to break into the real world, and secrets have big consequences. Full of both adventure and heart, Riverland is a story about the bond between
two sisters and how they must make their own magic to protect each other and save the ones they love.

Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A narrative that challenges the stereotypical stories of domestic violence, Riverland is painful and heartwarming all at once…A must-read.” —Booklist (starred review)
“About courage and truth overcoming denial and fear, Riverland is an important book.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“Eleanor is a very believable heroine, with faults typical of any middle schooler. In the end she has to solve the problem herself and does so.” —School Library Connection
“The important topic of physical and emotional abuse in families is sensitively portrayed.” —Kirkus Reviews
