Publisher's Summary

This is the first book in a spellbinding fantasy adventure series so believable you may wonder if it's happening in your own backyard.

"As Arlo looked around, the walls of his room began to vanish, revealing a moonlit forest. Only his bed remained and the frame of his window, through which he saw the girl. The world on her side of the glass was sparkling with silver and gold, like a palace made of autumn leaves. She looked off to her right. Someone was coming. Her words came in an urgent whisper: 'If I can see you, they can see you. You're in danger. Be careful, Arlo Finch.'"

Arlo Finch is a newcomer to Pine Mountain, Colorado, a tiny town of mystery and magic, but he has already attracted the attention of dark and ancient forces. At first he thinks these increasingly strange and frightening occurrences are just part of being in Rangers, the mountain scouting troop where he learns how to harness the wild magic seeping in from the mysterious Long Woods. But soon Arlo finds himself at the center of a dangerous adventure, where he faces obstacles that test the foundations of the Ranger's Vow: Loyalty, Bravery, Kindness, and Truth.

not just for kids

Really fun story not just for boys. The girls 7 and 9 yo really enjoyed listening to it too so did I. The road to the ski mountain 45 minutes long was always really calm because the 3 kids were really focus on listening.
We just started book 2 so far so good.

A very compelling story

I have been a fan of John August's screenplays and of his podcast with co-hot Craig Mazin for sometime now. So, when he announced his first ever novel was out, I was very interested. I have not read any of the Harry Potter series of books nor many YA books other than the Maximum Ride series, but, as a OA (Old Adult lol) I found the story very compelling and entertaining. It kept my interest and I was curious as to where the story was going from chapter to chapter. The audio quality and performance from James Patrick Cronin was excellent as well. When book 2 comes out, I will definitely give it a listen as well. #Audible1
