My Review

This author wowed me with his first adult steampunk adventure, Michael McGillicuddy and the Amazing Race. So, when I saw he was launching a series for middle school and high school readers, I had to check it out—and Dutcher hit the mark!

Logan is your typical socially awkward middle schooler—sound familiar? But unlike most kids his age, Logan stumbles upon a magical portal and a strong ally in his neighbor, Ginny. When he crosses into the realm of Cameria, he discovers he’s destined to bring light and glory back to the land. Overwhelming? Absolutely. But can he do it? Well, I had a blast finding out, and you will too.

I’d hand this entertaining, fast-paced read to anyone aged 11 to 100. It’s a perfect escape into a world of magic and adventure.

Right now, there’s a giveaway until October 27, where you can win one of 10 copies. ENTER NOW—because with the holidays coming up, this would make a great gift for the younger readers in your life (and probably you too!).

Summary

The Never Ending Story meets The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Logan LeVec is an over-achieving middle-schooler who struggles socially. He enjoys a strong bond with his grandfather who tells the most over-the-top imaginative stories, much to the dismay of Logan’s mother, who worries about her father’s detachment from reality. But Logan discovers that the stories were all true, and a subtle form of training to prepare him for his higher purpose.

With the help of Muggins the Elementalist, and Ginny the girl next door, Logan enters Cameria through a magic portal. Cameria is under siege because Karma is stealing the Light and wants to destroy Cameria. The Light, of course, is the force from which all things good, like kindness and compassion, are derived. Without it, a most profound darkness will descend upon Cameria.

As ill-prepared as Logan feels, he is Cameria’s last hope. He must be anointed a Keeper of the Light, defeat Karma and release the Light in order to return Cameria to its original glory. If he fails, Cameria will be lost forever.

Karma, however, is a powerful adversary, who uses an enchanted mirror to force people to “reflect” on their wrongdoings and dole out extreme Karmic punishments. Logan must overcome Karma’s wrath, the army she has assembled and his own self-doubt in order to save Cameria. But does he really have what it takes?
