The thrills continue in the second action-packed adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling Beyonders trilogy.
After the cliffhanger ending of A World Without Heroes, Jason is back in the world he's always known—yet for all his efforts to get home, he finds himself itching to return to Lyrian. Jason knows that the shocking truth he learned from Maldor is precious information that all of his friends in Lyrian, including Rachel, need if they have any hope of surviving and defeating the evil emperor.

Meanwhile, Rachel and the others have discovered new enemies—as well as new abilities that could turn the tide of the entire quest. And as soon as Jason succeeds in crossing over to Lyrian, he's in more danger than ever. Once the group reunites, they strive to convince their most-needed ally to join the war and form a rebellion strong enough to triumph over Maldor. At the center of it all, Jason and Rachel realize what roles they're meant to play—and the answers are as surprising as they are riveting.

      Gr 5-8-At the conclusion of A World Without Heroes (S & S, 2011), Jason Walker, 13, was sent back to present-day Colorado-and normal life-against his wishes. Now, he returns to Lyrian to find his friends, including fellow "Beyonder" Rachel and Galloran, the "Blind King." As the nucleus of a grassroots revolt against the malevolent and powerful wizard Maldor, Jason, and his allies embark on a quest to hear an oracle's prophecy: Can evil be bested? Quality world-building lies at the heart of any good fantasy story, and in this aspect Mull excels. The inventive characters and settings-such as the Amar Kabal people, who achieve life after death thanks to the walnut-shaped seeds at the base of their necks that can grow a reincarnated "seedperson" when planted, or the horrific swamp inhabited by giant toads, carnivorous pond scum, and hostile leeches-will enchant fans of fantasy, while plentiful adventure sequences will win over reluctant readers. Mull loses his footing just a bit near the end by including a rather unlikely encounter between the traveling companions and a zombielike people. The circumstances seem tacked on, and the group's escape is a tad implausible, but luckily this is just a small misstep en route to a cliff-hanger of an ending. Readers must be familiar with the first volume in order to understand much of the plot and character development. Recommend these books to fans of Mull's "Fablehaven" series (Shadow Mountain), John Flanagan's "Ranger's Apprentice" series (Philomel), and N.D. Wilson's "100 Cupboards" trilogy (Random).-Sam Bloom, Groesbeck Branch Library, Cincinnati, OH
