Balance Keepers series.
Albert Flynn's boring summer is turned upside down when he discovers he is a Balance Keeper tasked with maintaining three mystical territories hidden beneath the earth. When an imbalance in the Calderon realm wreaks havoc on the surface, Albert and friends must set things right.
