Far From Home, an ordinary girl is a powerful warrior: Mary Jingo of the Shadowlands, the People of LeeChee’s great hope.
Oh! Hello there, future reader. Thank you for checking out this book. Your humble narrator would like you to know that this is a story worth reading—if you like tales about ordinary girls who get the chance to be whisked off to magical lands, that is! Our main character is one Mary Jingo. When you crack the spine on this volume, she will be one week away from finishing fifth grade and already looking forward to middle school and getting her own phone.
But then this ordinary girl will notice glimmers of light and meet a strange little man who conjures the best smells she has ever smelled. Before she even stops to consider what she’s doing, she agrees to set off on an adventure into the strange new land of LeeChee. Far From Home, an ordinary girl is a powerful warrior: Mary Jingo of the Shadowlands, the People of LeeChee’s great hope.
Now our heroine must find a way to save LeeChee from Thrall and restore the Everything. How can she face down the Void, the foul-smelling Shoeboxians, or the evil Mellie? But that’s a lot of details and words that are probably new to you, dear reader. You’ll just need to open the pages and read about Mary Jingo’s adventures Far From Home.

Kelly Byrd would like for you to know that she is very sorry about this. Stories have crept around the halls of her mind since she was a little girl. Not even the combined will of her two loyal pups, her devoted husband, and all of her house plants could keep her from putting this story into the world. (They would like you to know that they would have NEVER tried to stop her.) If you’re ever in Nashville, Tennessee, please stop by Frothy Monkey East and tell her hello. She’ll be the blonde woman on a laptop, pretending to write, while sipping an iced soy latte.
