description: On a brisk autuman day, a thirteen-year-old boy stands on the shores of the Atlantic, near a silent amusement park and a fading ocean restort called the Alhambra. The past has driven Jack Sawyer here: His father is gone, his mother is dying, and the world no longer makes sense. But for Jack everything is about to change. For he has been chosen to make a journey back across america--and into another realm.
