After their father is killed and their mother is abducted, Emily and Navin discover a portal to a strange world called Alledia. This first volume of a three-part graphic novel is satisfying in its own right, but the surprising cliffhanger ending will send readers immediately to the library for Book Two in the series.
Booktalk
After their father was killed in a terrible accident, Emily and Navin move with their mother to an old house, deep in the woods, said to be haunted. When things go bump in the night, they go to investigate. Their mother is abducted, and deep in the basement Emily and Navin discover a portal to a strange world called Alledia.
There, they meet their long-disappeared great grandfather and his troop of robots, who show Emily and Navin the way to save their mother. Saving their mother, though, is just the beginning. The sinister son of an Elf King is hard on their heels, and he will use Emily and Navin to disrupt the fragile balance of Alledia. They have the power in a magical amulet Emily wears on her neck; but the power may bring them even greater danger than they imagined.
