Adventures in Otherworlds: Tales from Grandpa Greg's Fireside

By Leandra Massengill

In 1955, by a cozy fireplace the week of Christmas, Grandpa Greg tells his grandchildren three marvelous tales full of magic, destiny, and friendship.

Story One: Behind the Forbidden Waterfall

Sky, the last fairy, breaks the one rule her talking-animal friends gave her: never go behind the Forbidden Waterfall. There, she discovers the world of man. With the help of a noble prince and a brave peasant girl, Sky must stand against a tyrannical queen to save the kingdom.

Story Two: The Island of Thanatos

Amber Quill's cruise ship is sunk by the sea's unnatural behavior. She and three other survivors find themselves stranded on the Island of Thanatos ruled by a sea goddess with a thirst for vengeance. As the survivors complete four deadly tests to escape, eerie connections to the death of Amber's mother emerge.

Story Three: The Griffin Key

In 1930s London, sisters Diana and Anne Griffin must find a way to end their family's centuries-long mission-destroy the Griffin Key. With the help of the charming Commissioner Harry Williams, the Griffin sisters struggle to resist the Key's maddening whispers and save the world from Levian's return. Meanwhile, Vitus roams the deep caves, his search for the Door leading him to realize that he is not who he thinks he is.

Perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter, this magical collection will take readers on exciting adventures that they will never forget.
