In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan | YA Fantasy, Satire & Coming of Age

What if the magical land behind the wall wasn’t all it was cracked up to be? When sarcastic, awkward Elliot is whisked into a world of elves, mermaids, and warriors, he discovers that being the chosen one is less about glory and more about survival — and maybe love. In Other Lands is a witty, subversive take on portal fantasy that’s equal parts hilarious, romantic, and unexpectedly moving.

📖 Perfect for readers who love:

• Queer YA fantasy with romance and heart

• Coming-of-age stories that balance humor with emotion

📚 Condition: Good, Student Edition

✨ Why you’ll love it: Clever, funny, and heartfelt, In Other Lands turns classic fantasy tropes upside down — delivering a story that’s as full of heart as it is full of sass.
