Review
“Canlandia is an exciting pre-teen fantasy work that is masterfully written and beautifully illustrated.”
——MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
“The world of Canlandia, with its edible environment and candy-colored landscape, is well worth exploring.”
——KIRKUS BOOK REVIEW
“I see this book as something with which a young reader would empathize and find immersive. Even the youngest child could be drawn into this story with the help of an adult reader, find additional narrative in the paintings, and probably, eventually, be motivated to unlock the story in the text themselves. This book could be a reading gateway.”
——THE SCIENCE FICTION SITE
“A very colorful, nicely illustrated Fantasy story that will surely capture the imagination and provide hours of enjoyment. Would make a great Holiday gift!”
— Greg Hildebrandt, Greg and his twin brother Tim Hildebrandt began painting professionally in 1959 as the Brothers Hildebrandt. They are best known for their popular The Lord of the Rings calendar illustrations, their Star Wars film poster, Marvel Comics and Harry Potter illustrations.
“Steve Richardson and Fiona Sansom have created a wonderfully, beautiful, fantasy world teeming with mythical creatures and filled with daring adventure and brilliant surprise.”

Description
When Logan sneaks into the laboratory of a very peculiar professor, he is accidentally transported to the magical world of Canlandia, where lollipop gargoyles, toffee giants, and deadly marzipan dragons lurk in peppermint forests and rock candy canyons. To Logan's astonishment, the Canlandians and their queen welcome him as a wizard foretold in an ancient prophecy - a wizard who will save Canlandia from the evil Baron von Jawbreaker and his army of mad gobstoppers. In no time, Logan finds himself starting on a secret mission with Butterbrickle, a girl of his own age, who happens to be Canlandia's bravest warrior. With the queen's army decimated, Logan and Butterbrickle must cross the continent alone in a desperate quest to steal the baron's secret weapon: the magical Sapphire Sugar Crystal.
