Beyond the Valley of Thornes by Patrick Carman (Land of Elyon Book #2)

Alexa Daley thought her troubles were over when she defeated the man who had threatened to bring down Bridewell from within. But now that the walls around her land have fallen, a new, unexpected threat has risen from outside. Suddenly, Alexa is involved in a battle much, much larger than her own life...a battle which she is destined to play a key role.

Sinister forces are gathering in strange and vile forms, all with the goal of bringing darkenss to the land. In order to help good defeat evil, Alexa and her friends must venture farther than the've gone before-confronting giants, bats, ravenous dogs, and a particularly ghoulish mastermind in order to bring back peace.
