Shipwrecked on an island when their boating trip goes awry, Reece and his family soon find themselves confronting unusual creatures, weird plants, and strange symbols carved in the rocks. Escaping the island ultimately reveals a connection with an imprisoned guardian from another universe who Reece and his family help release. This graphic novel is short on characterization; instead, action-packed illustrations keep things moving.
