About this ebook

Zach lives with his grandparents on a remote island in Puget Sound in Washington State. With only his little brother, Gilbert, to keep him company, Zach feels cut off from the world. But when Gilbert is kidnapped, Zach tries the only thing he can think of to find him: astral projection. Soon, his spirit is soaring through the strange and boundless astral realm—a shadow place. While searching for his brother, Zach meets a boy named Emory, another astral traveler who's intriguing (and cute). As Zach and Emory track the kidnappers from the astral realm, their bond grows—but each moment could be Gilbert's last. Even worse, there's a menacing, centuries-old creature in their midst that devours souls and possesses physical bodies. And it's hungry for Zach. From Brent Hartinger, the award-winning and critically acclaimed author of Geography Club.

Ratings and reviews

The book was okay, I think i just expected so much more from this book. Very interesting plot, just not the book i've expected.

The story is wonderful, and has a wonderful ending. I would love for there to be a sequel, but it is not necessary. Another brilliant tale from a marvelous author.

Great blend of subject matter, just the right amount of discription to keep the suspence flowing.
