"A powerhouse storyteller delivers his most fantastic ride yet!" --Ted Dekker, New York Times bestselling author

When the Kings move from LA to a secluded small town, fifteen-year-old Xander is beyond disappointed. He and his friends loved to create amateur films, but the tiny town of Pinedale is the last place a movie buff and future filmmaker wants to land.

But he, David, and Toria are captivated by the many rooms in the old Victorian fixer-upper they moved into--as well as the heavy woods surrounding the house.

They soon discover there's something odd about their new home. Sounds come from the wrong directions. Prints of giant, bare feet appear in the dust. And when David tries to hide in the linen closet, he winds up in locker 119 at his new school.

Then the really weird stuff kicks in: they find a hidden hallway with portals leading to far-off places--in long-ago times. Xander is starting to wonder if this kind of travel is a teen's dream come true . . . or his worst nightmare.

With cinematic pacing, supernatural intrigue, and relatable family dynamics at its heart, this novel offers thrills without losing its warmth--making it an ideal choice for shared reading, middle grade and teen audiences, and adults looking for imaginative escapism alike. Continue the adventure with Watcher in the Woods, Gatekeepers, Timescape, Whirlwind, and Frenzy.
