In the sequel to Below, Elia still longs to return home to the floating islands of Above. She finally reunites with Below native Hokk, and his pilfered winged creatures give them their chance to ascend. The headstrong explorer Tash helps them investigate a mysterious conspiracy involving both realms. Despite the plot's loose ends, atmospheric world-building helps make this fantasy one in which to get lost.

On his first day of high school, Billy Smith embarrasses himself in front of pretty Lexi and angers quarterback Kurt--then accidentally transports all three of them to goblin underworld Kiranok.
