2023 book 202

 Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Secret of Lillian Velvet

The latest in the Kingdoms and Empires series involves a lonely little girl in Australia, who receives a pickle jar full of gold coins on her tenth birthday and suddenly finds herself bouncing in and out of another world, where she encounters various Mettlestones (so nice to see all those characters again), tries to save a little boy, and gets involved in all sorts of magical shenanigans.
