OLDER FICTION
Lyga, Barry

The Secret Sea

(4) YA A ghostly voice leads three friends to an underground portal to a parallel world. Zak, believing the voice is his long-dead twin, follows it unquestioningly toward destruction. Khalid learns about "wild science," a.k.a. magic. Meanwhile, Moira is horribly mistreated by the world's hyper-misogynistic populace. This dystopia-meets-ghost-story has a few too many plot elements and not enough nuance to be entirely satisfying.
