"Sky Island (1912) was the second of three titles written by Baum featuring a spunky girl from California, Trot, and her companion, the old sailorman, Capn Bill. Baum had hoped to end the Oz series in 1910 and the following year he introduced Trot and Capn Bill in The Sea Fairies. In Sky Island, they journey to an island in the sky by means of an enchanted umbrella belonging to Button Bright, a character who first appeared in The Road to Oz (1909). The trio is then captured by the Boolaroo of the Blues, a monarch who is both comical and dangerous, escape to the country of the Pinks, and eventually regain the magic umbrella and return back to earth. This is one of Baums best fantasy books and contains enough not-so-veiled commentary on race and politics to interest adults as well. However, it (and The Sea Fairies) did not sell as well as the Oz books and Baum resumed writing them in 1913. He subsequently brought Trot and Capn Bill to Oz in 1915 in The Scarecrow of Oz.(Summary by Judy Bieber)"

The Bluebird Books is a series of novels popular with teenage girls in the 1910s and 1920s. The series was begun by L. Frank Baum using his Edith Van Dyne pseudonym,then continued by at least three others, all using the same pseudonym. Baum wrote the first four books in the series, possibly with help from his son, Harry Neal Baum, on the third.The books are concerned with adolescent girl detectives a concept Baum had experimented with earlier, in The Daring Twins and Phoebe Daring . The Bluebird series began with Mary Louise, originally written as a tribute to Baums favorite sister, Mary Louise Baum Brewster. Baums publisher, Reilly & Britton, rejected that manuscript, apparently judging the heroine too independent. Baum wrote a new version of the book; the original manuscript is lost.The title character is Mary Louise Burrows. In the first books of the series, she is a fifteen-year-old girl with unusual maturity . She is suddenly confronted with the fact that her beloved grandfather is suspected of no less a crime than treason against the United States. With the help of old and new friends of Mary Louise the truth is uncovered. The novel features a federal agent named John OGorman; he is assisted by his daughter Josie, a young woman he has himself trained to function as an investigator.
