The other thread reminded me of this book I've been trying to find. This can be a thread for anyone that trying to remember a book/movie/show etc.

The book I have in mind was a YA novel. A girl somehow goes to a parallel world where her family is super nice and everything goes her way. In the end, she finds out that they are actually lizard monsters planning to eat her. She manages to escape back to the normal world. Also, she rescues a dog. Anyone know it?

There's also an anime version of Wizard of Oz I've been looking for. There are a bunch of them and I'm not sure which one it is. I watched it in Germany in the early 90s. All I remember is an episode where her friends were turned into items and she had to guess which items they were. I think Scarecrow was a vase?

The book wasn't Coraline, was it?

No. The protagonist was an older teen and it was years before Coraline was published.

That scene, with the friends turned into items & the protagonist having to guess who they are, sounds like something Frank Baum would write, but I don't remember seeing an anime version of it.

The anime wouldn't be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz_%281986_TV_series%29

would it?

That looks familiar. I think it might be the show. Thanks!

I can guarantee I read this over eight years ago, so the book's probably over a decade old.

The main character is named Saree, and she's a seamstress at the castle. When they're besieged while he king is gone, she escapes through underground tunnels with the heir, who is about three or so.

Meanwhile, the queen(?) And her retinue of rangers are attacked. One survives because he was knocked out early in the fight.

He meets up with the seamstress and decides it's now his job to protect the child, since he failed the queen.

They're living in caves for some reason (not safe to return? Lost? I can't remember) and find a shed dragon skin (and possibly an egg?). The hide is near impervious, and Saree uses it to make them protective bodysuits. She ends up using the ranger's spare bowstrings for thread, before coming up with the idea to cut off her very long hair. She also ends up making him more bowstrings out of the hair.

In the end they're reunited with the King, though in a very first-in-a-series way.

I borrowed it from the library and my Mom returned it with a giant stack. We didn't have electronic accounts in my small city back then, and I could never find it again despite combing the shelves book-by-book several times. I don't remember the author or name, and numerous searches have come up empty through the years, but I would very much like to re-read it, and possibly the rest if they were ever printed.
