Jason's job at the zoo was dull. Until a hippo swallowed him.
Instead of dying, he was transported to another world. A place known as Lyrian that is ruled by an evil wizard named Maldor. There's only one way to stop Maldor: speaking a word of power . . . but the word must be discovered one piece at a time.
Jason soon discovers a girl named Rachel was also drawn into Lyrian. Together, they set out on a dangerous quest to discover the word and destroy Maldor - unless he destroys them first.
I fell in love with Mull's writing in the FABLEHAVEN series and THE CANDY SHOP WARS, and this first book of the BEYONDERS didn't disappoint me. I found myself pulled into Mull's world just as easily as Jason and Rachel were pulled into Lyrian, but unlike the characters, I didn't want to leave. The plot twists and dangers had me holding my breath . . . especially Macroid.
WOW!! I can't wait for the next book in this fantastic new series.
