It's been just Griffin and his dad running a lighthouse on the Oregon coast since Griffin's mother died three years ago. When beings from a parallel world called Somni kidnap his father, Griffin follows in hopes of rescuing him. Reminiscent of A Wrinkle in Time, this is a well-paced fantasy-adventure with intriguing characters, surprising plot twists, and a cliffhanger ending that leaves room for a possible sequel.
