I give this book 4 stars! Great read for me, my husband and my daughter ~ and that says something! Check out the synopsis from Goodreads.....

Ty and Marcus Mitchell are average middle school brothers growing up north of Chicago until one night when they’re hurtled through an inter-dimensional gateway to a parallel world defined by its multiple moons and planet-wide apocalypse. As they struggle to figure out where they are and how to get home, the boys encounter refugees of “the last day” from the distant city of Atlantis and a mysterious girl called Bellana, the sole survivor and resident of the devastated city of Spartanica. Ty and Marcus soon learn they only have seven days to get home. But before they can leave, they must battle through long-extinct predators, track down the elusive Professor Otherblood, and rescue a new friend from certain death. Is all of this insanity just Ty’s overactive imagination or are the brothers truly on the brink of being stranded on the brutal wasteland known as Spartanica.

Now as you can tell from this summary..... this is a fabulously different and refreshing YA read for sure. This story starts off action packed, which is a HUGE plus for me, and I give it this amazing rating without the "romance" part of the story! This is a clean story, not much romance if that is your thing, but even though it lacks in the "romance" department, it is still surprisingly amazing! I did not even need the "romance" or anything else for that matter, other than what the author managed to provide. This author managed to pull me in from description, imagery development and character development alone! I am so impressed that I could do without my love triangle or "romance" in general. I will definitely be reading the sequel for sure ~ I loved Marcus, Ty's and Bellana's character's and cannot wait to see what the author has in store for us with the next book..... amazingly written and beautifully descriptive for sure! A bit of a cliffhanger, but I am In! Check this one out!… (altro)
