Description
So how did they end up in the middle of a potential apocalypse? All Dirk wanted was to escape another argument with their parents and go for a nice quiet coffee. Instead, they’ve been kidnapped by agents, attacked by mal-realmers and forced to wear a boiler suit that they’re pretty sure someone died in. When Dirk is taken to Base, a secret underground … well … base, they learn way more than they need to. More about other realms, more about the battle between good and evil, and more about the absolutely terrifying Violent Jack, an evil mal-realmer determined to bring about the end of the world. Both sides need the chosen one. But there’s not a lot Dirk can do about it, is there? It’s not like it’s them. Unfortunately for Dirk, not everyone knows that.
"Funny, scary and totally original, with a cast of weird and wonderful characters and an awesomely terrifying villain, this madcap adventure will have you on the edge of your seat. Dirk Jones might not be the chosen one, but they deserve to be." —Claire Fayers, author of Welsh Giants, Ghosts and Goblins

This was brilliant! Dirk has a lot gping on at home but they don't want to leave home quite the way they do. They end up in a secret base with secret agents, not to mention other realmers, some of whom are trying to kill them. Dirk is brave and caring and with their new found friendships, manages to help defend everyone.

I could not put this book down! From the very first page, Dirk’s sharp humour and the fast-paced, unpredictable twists had me completely hooked. What starts as an ordinary spirals into a brilliantly chaotic adventure full of danger, strange realms, and characters you can’t help but root for. The writing crackles with energy, balancing darkly comic moments with edge-of-your-seat tension. I can’t wait to read more from this author—this is the start of something truly exciting.
