A review by bookgirl4ever
A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull

3.0

As crazy as it sounds, thirteen year old Jason is transported to another world through a hippo's mouth. Upon arrival in this new world, he learns a popular music band is making a statement by voluntarily sailing down a river to their death by waterfall. Because no one else will, Jason tries to save troupe but to no avail. He continues looking for someone who can help him return home and ends up at a library where he finds there used to be many passages between Earth (the Beyond) and this new world, but now no one knows where those passages lie other than the evil magician Maldor who is ruling this world. Jason also finds out that there is a word that when figured out will kill Maldor. Jason begins the quest to find the word in order to save the world and find a way home.

Not as fun as Fablehaven but Fablehaven fans who enjoyed the adventure, magic, and puzzles of the series will enjoy the same in this new series.
