This is the first title in Mull's new Beyonders series. It is fabulous. There's lots of action, adventure, bizarre creatures, puzzles, and good vs evil. The Beyonders are people from our world who crossover to the fantasy world of Lyrian ruled by an evil wizard. The book features two strong characters, 14 year old Jason and Rachel, who are both Beyonders and must work together to save a world that is in great need of heroes. In fact, this book does a rather good job of explaining just what a hero is. Kids who like Angie Sage's Septimus Heap books or John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice books will eat this up. Great "boy" book.
