About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Beyonders: A World Without Heroes


The Beyonders: A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull

Jason Walker has often wished his life could be a little less predictable -- until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank to a place unlike anything he's ever seen. In the past, the people of Lyrian welcomed visitors from the Beyond, but attitudes have changed since the wizard emperor Maldor rose to power. The brave resistors who oppose the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail.
In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also drawn mysteriously to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to peice together the word of power that can destroy the emperor, and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes.
Book trailer.
