Twelve-year-old Micah Murphy’s life has been turned upside down. First, his parents move him to a small boring town on the other side of the country, and now, his friends are not even messaging him back. The prospects for a great 8th grade are not looking good.

After finding an old kayak, and proceeding to lose his way while exploring the shore of the Atlantic, Micah finds himself caught up in an adventure bigger than he planned.

Micah is trapped in a strange land. All he wants to do is get home. Even if that means his parents will ground him for the rest of the summer. Isdralan is a world in the shadows of our imagination, balanced between light and dark. He has to learn whom he can trust, in a place where nothing is as it seems, and come face to face with secrets he never knew existed.

Will Micah be able to face his fears, or will he be stuck in Isdralan forever?
