    About this audiobook

    An unexpected treasure. A treacherous journey. A thrilling adventure that will shape her future.

    Jane lives on an island of trash. And even though she has to scavenge garbage and deal with sinister robots, she still loves her home. It’s all she’s ever experienced, from her most cherished memories to her foggy past that she can’t quite remember.

    But when a doll shows up in the latest batch of garbage, everything changes. Unlike the rest of the junk, the doll is in excellent condition, including its tag which reads, “Please return to Gloria Thatcher.”

    Convinced it arrived by accident, Jane vows to return the doll to its rightful owner. There’s just one problem—nobody has left the island before, thanks to the tyrannical robots guarding the Docks, a dangerous place with a mysterious history.

    Will Jane find safe passage to the Lands of Luxury? Will she uncover the secrets of her past?

    Embark on this thrilling adventure where Jane and her friends discover the importance of hardship and the beauty in sharing stories with life’s greatest treasure—our friends and family.

    Please Return to the Lands of Luxury is the first book in this exciting series. Join Jane, Rodney, and Timothy as they explore a distant world, much unlike their own. These riveting tales are packed with an abundance of action, plenty of heart, and timeless themes.

      Great little story! Highly recommend for kids. I just checked out the author's website, and it looks like a series is planned. It'll be interesting to see how he handles the overthrowing an entire huge bureaucratic tyranny in a way that's not too much for children's books. This one was a nice, kid-size snippet that lets them see the problem and encourages bravery, loyalty, and forgiveness in the midst of it.
