When Denise gives Nathan a strange red stone, they are transported to the land of Fayrah where they meet Listro Q, a purple fox-like creature with a Mohawk; Astrophenix, a bear-like fellow who is bad at poetry; Samson, a flying bug with a glowing blue tail; and Mr. Hornsberry, a snooty stuffed bulldog. Nathan's selfish nature soon gets him in trouble and he is lured by the Illusionist and held prisoner in Bobok's castle. Denise and her new friends must free Nathan from his captor, and someone must make an enormous sacrifice so that the others can escape.
This book initiates the amazing Journeys to Fayrah series by Bill Myers. I read it when I was considerably younger -- probably just shy of ten years ago -- but I still clearly recall the stories as some of the most *important* reading of my young life. Myers' religious allegories are a little easier for young readers to navigate; you can work them up to C.S. Lewis and John Bunyan a little later. In the meantime, if you have access to this series (which is sadly now out-of-print), definitely snatch up these books.
READ IT!

After I read this book, I wanted to read the rest of the series. This is a really enjoyable book for all ages. When two children open the portal to a magical realm known as Fayrah, they start a powerful spiritual journey with Fayranians Listro Q and Aristophenix. When you start reading, you too also begin your own journey in love, friendship and faith. I recommend this book to people of all ages and hope to read the rest of the series soon!
