Bobby Pendragon is a seemingly normal fourteen-year-old boy. He has a family, a home, and even Marley, his beloved dog. But there is something very special about Bobby.
He is going to save the world.
And not just Earth as we know it. Bobby is slowly starting to realize that life in the cosmos isn't quite what he thought it was. And before he can object, he is swept off to an alternate dimension known as Denduron, a territory inhabited by strange beings, ruled by a magical tyrant, and plagued by dangerous revolution.
If Bobby wants to see his family again, he's going to have to accept his role as savior, and accept it wholeheartedly. Because, as he is about to discover, Denduron is only the beginning.

This book was on the edge of okay/liked it for me. I would take off a half-star for the use of the word “coolio”. Disregarding the overreaching attempt at youthful language which is already dated, I'm not sure how I felt about it. I liked it enough that I'm going to read the next book in the series and see how it goes.
Chouette plongée dans la littérature YA avec un nouveau cycle qui promet. J'ai dévoré cette première aventure, j'ai des questions et des paysages plein la tête et j'ai trouvé les personnages extrêmement intéressants. L'histoire était pleine de rebondissements et je ne pouvais que craquer pour une histoire qui incluait des univers parallèles :D A suivre !
Interesting story but yikes
Oof the fatphobia in this book
