Summary

“Gage escaped.”

These are the worst words Broden could hear from his big brother Landon—just one day after they battled alongside Slade’s Ifs and his army of forest beasts.

Sure, the brothers had learned to work together to fight and capture the evil If Gage. But, now, Slade has informed them that Gage has escaped!
Fear and distrust have entered the boys’ world. Why should they help Slade if he can’t keep control of his prisoners? Will they be able to fight against a familiar foe? Plus, Landon has more news…

“Gage has magic.”

What kind of magic? Will he use it against them? As the boys are drawn into yet more adventure with the Ifs, they find out just how powerful, and dangerous, Gage’s magic can be.

My Review

I don’t know about you, but when I was a little girl I used to love the books in The Littles series! I had (still have) a vivid imagination, and thinking about little people living in my house or town was just so cool!

J.D. Pooker must have been a fan too. Perhaps this is why she wrote The Ifs, which I reviewed earlier. In this book, The Ifs Return, only a day has passed and already trouble is again brewing! Broden and Landon find out that Gage has escaped in spite of the fact that he was just captured! They think that he won’t leave them alone, and soon they find out they were correct. And now he is using magic against them to even the playing field. He shrinks them, so they are closer to his size!

The Ifs Return is an adventure that your children will enjoy! Just be sure they read The Ifs first since this is the sequel. There is a lot of quick paced action which children enjoy. The characters are great and ones your kids can relate to as well. I recommend that you check out The Ifs books if your kids enjoy a good adventure.
