FINALIST IN THE WISHING SHELF BOOK AWARDS When Dylan Edwards is given a magic amulet and a journal for his birthday, his ordinary life is transformed into a dangerous mission to rescue his relatives in another realm. By communicating with the soul of a murdered king trapped in a journal, Dylan receives important clues that will help him defeat an evil sorceress and a corrupt dictator who have placed a curse on his royal ancestors. Each day, Dylan attends school and lives the normal life of an eighth-grade student, but at night, when he drifts off to sleep, his amulet transports him to the kingdom of Calinore, where his quest awaits him. There, he befriends a kind-hearted baker, an old witch with failing powers, a sparrow who works as a spy, and the pet dragon of a former prince. He also encounters a group of mice whose hidden identities force him to take immediate action on their behalf. Join Dylan and his newfound companions as they embark upon a perilous journey filled with deadly obstacles and unexpected challenges that threaten their survival at every turn.
