Woah! 
Incredibly adventurous, tons of new information added to the world building and lore surrounding the portals and Aski (the world the children travel to). Lots of character development and interesting plot twists too! Can’t recommend this series enough and can’t wait for the next one!!

Eli and Morgan's fantasy and human worlds collide in disastrous ways in this latest middle grade fantasy book perfect for fans of Narnia and the Pax series. The two Indigenous tweens face new foes, new powers and learn t rely on both their animal friends and foster family as they race to save the day once again. Full of empowering messages about learning to control your emotions, deal with trauma and be brave. This was great on audio and another fantastic read from one of my fav authors! Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

*3.5 I’m continuing to read the series because my students enjoyed the first one so much. At the same time, in the first part of this book, it really started to feel like a series, in the sense that the individual stories wouldn’t stand on their own. I began to lose interest but I pushed through. It’s Eli’s development at the very end that makes me want to stay with these characters. Now it feel’s like there is a bigger story to track through the upcoming books. And I feel like kids who love reading series would still love these books.
