[ID: Cover of ‘The Strangeworlds Travel Agency’ by L. D. Lapinski, which features an illustration of all sorts of items coming out of a trunk (tentacles, a tree with vines, birds and books and crystals and a globe, a hot air balloon, a plane, etc). Near the bottom of the image, a girl is hanging on to one strap of a rucksack which appears to be being pulled into a suitcase by another arm.]Can’t find anything to reblog about this, so I shall just have to yell excitedly myself!!.‘The Strangeworlds Travel Agency’ by L. D. Lapinski is a portal-fantasy adventure story for 9-13s (and older, honestly, I’m 29 and I loved it) with a central trans character. Flick has moved to a new town, and she discovers this strange old travel agency. When she investigates, she finds out it’s run by Jonathan, who is surprisingly young for the job. It turns out that The Strangeworlds Travel Agency uses suitcases like portals - step through one and you step into a whole other world! Though of course, there is a catch or two…It’s such a great book? I love Flick, I love Jonathan, and all of the worlds that they visit feel like you could have a whole book set just there. Plus, the central mystery is really well done! And it’s part of a series, with the next one coming out next April, and I’ve already preordered it because I’m that excited :DTL;DR: portal fantasy series, adventure, middle grade, trans central character, and iirc the author’s non-binary - definitely check it out! -- source link
