Synopsis

Even though ¬thirteen-¬year-¬old Marcus Kanenas is confined to a wheelchair, he sees himself as a survivor and a dreamer. In fact, his favorite dream is of a world far away, a world where magic is as common as air, where animals tell jokes, and where trees beg people to pick their fruit. He even has a name for this place ¬Farworld. When Marcus magically travels to Farworld, he meets Kyja, a girl without magic in a world where spells, charms, and potions are everywhere, and Master Therapass, a master wizard who has kept a secret hidden for thirteen years, a secret that could change the fate of two ¬worlds. But the Dark Circle has learned of Master Therapass s secret and their evil influence and power are growing. Farworld s only hope is for Marcus and Kyja to find the mythical ¬Elementals ¬water, land, air, and -fire ¬and convince them to open a drift between the ¬worlds. As Kyja and Marcus travel to Water Keep, they must face the worst the evil Dark Circle can throw at them ¬Summoners, who can command the living and the dead; Unmakers, invisible creatures that can destroy both body and soul; and dark mages known as Thrathkin S Bae. Along the way, Marcus and Kyja will discover the truth about their own heritage, the strength of their friendship, and the depths of their unique ¬powers.

About this title

About the Author:

J. Scott Savage grew up in northern California. He now lives in Northern Utah in a windy little valley of the Rocky Mountains. He has a wonderful wife who has somehow stuck with him for more than twenty years, four great kids, a spastic border collie, and although his fish didn't survive the winter freeze, he now has a red-eared slider turtle that thinks it's a demolition expert.

Review:

Its humor will entertain younger readers, and the characters are intriguing enough to hold up a story that owes much to the Harry Potter series. --Booklist
