Welcome to Astoria's library, a mysterious place offering its visitors a unique chance to visit their favorite storybook lands…

Neverland? Wonderland? Oz? They're all a reality in this magical building, each a dreamlike world waiting to be explored. But what happens when one false move in these mythic lands is enough to change the stories you love? What happens when one wrong step can turn your favorite fairy tale… into a nightmare?

After learning their actions in Oz have had grave consequences, Wesley and Tay return to the fabled land hoping they can undo any damage they've done. Once there, however, the children discover things are even worse than they imagined. Not only has the Wicked Witch taken control of Oz, Douglas Stanford is now recruiting an army of storybook villains to help him obtain the magic hidden within Astoria's library.

The Librarian will need the children's help once more if he's going to protect the library's power from those who intend to exploit it.

— or —

Yesterday, Taylor and Wes turned a boring field trip to their local library into a grand adventure when they found a mysterious portal leading into the fabled Land of Oz…

But that was yesterday.

Today they've learned their actions have had grave consequences. Not only did they alter the Oz mythos, but their deeds may have had unexplained repercussions in the real world as well.

Taylor's returned home to find she's living a life that isn't her own. Nothing's as she left it. Her normally warm father has become cold and distant. Her grades have fallen overnight. Teachers who once saw her as their favorite student, now consider her their most problematic pupil. Only Wesley remembers Taylor as she truly is, and together, he and Tay return to Oz hoping they can undo the damage and restore both worlds to the way they were.

But the children quickly find they're in way over their heads. Not only has the Wicked Witch taken control of Oz, but Douglas Stanford has stayed behind to build a small army of storybook villains to help him obtain the magic hidden within Astoria's library. The librarian's returned to stop him, but the old man may need the children's help as the fate of every known world hangs in the balance.
