When Cole's friends are kidnapped by mysterious strangers, the sixth grader follows them through a magical portal and lands in a world dominated by Shapers, people who bend reality to their will. Action and adventure rule the day as Cole teams up with new friends on a hero's quest. The setup is hardly new, but Mull's intriguing invented world keeps things interesting.
