What this book is about
Fourteen-year-old Bobby Pendragon is suddenly pulled through a flume into the territory of Denduron — a world that is about to be destroyed by a conflict engineered by the demon Saint Dane. Bobby must work with a Traveler named Alea to stop a war while figuring out what being a Traveler actually means. MacHale's Pendragon series is fast-paced YA adventure that leans hard into its alternate-world premise.
