One glowing orb. One doorway. Nothing will ever be the same.

When brothers Thomas and Kevin Anderson find a strange orb in the Wisconsin woods, they are pulled into a realm ruled by the ruthless wraith Dragamond: a land of cursed forests, deadly riddles, and monsters that guard the way forward.

Their only allies are a wizard with a map and two companions they never expected: Beary and Gaphon, the stuffed animals they grew up with, now alive and unwilling to be left behind.

To get home, the brothers must climb to Dragamond's castle. But heroes aren't chosen. They're the ones who refuse to give up.

Some doors were never meant to open.

Book I of The Anderson Brothers' Adventures, a fantasy series for readers 9 to 16 who love portal worlds, brotherhood, and quests where courage matters more than strength. A perfect first adventure for the young reader in your life.
