Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- The Magic Island - The Sky Island!Sky Island is the story of Trot, Button Bright and Cap'n Bill. Button Bright has found a magic umbrella, which allows him to go anyplace in the world in seconds. He meets trot and Cap'n Bill during his adventures, and the three decide to go to "Sky Island", and small island without a name off the coast. But the umbrella instead take them up over the ocean. They land in a land of blue, where they are taken prisoner by the terrible Boolooroo. Sky Island is another split-color country in Baum's fantasy universe, like the Land of Oz. Divided in two-halves, blue and pink, Sky Island supports two separate races of beings, the Blues and the Pinkies. The two halves are separated by a region shrouded in fog, which both peoples are reluctant to enter. The three travellers land on the blue side of Sky Island, which is a grim country ruled by a sadistic tyrant, the Boolooroo of the Blues. In Sky Island, as in Oz, no one can be killed or suffer pain, but that doesn't mean one is safe: the Boolooroo's method of punishing disobedience in his subjects is to split his victims into halves using a huge guillotine-type knife, and then join the wrong halves back together, creating very unhappy asymmetrical mixed people. This is called "patching." They must find a way to escape servitude, and on the way help the blue people. Will they escape? Will they ever find their way home? A fun, comical, and action-filled book.
