You never know what adventure is waiting for you in the woods.

While exploring the woods near their house, Janine, Maurie, and Bobby Wells find a portal to a magical land. They soon learn about the strange laws and magical creatures in the land, as well as a mysterious dark force.

To be safe from the dark forces ands wicked creatures they encounter, the children must appear before the King to receive His protection. Before they can get there, they are separated and must each face dangers.

Janine meets the mysterious and kind Prince, who helps her understand and face dangers with confidence and faith. Maurie is captured and must outsmart her captor and learn forgiveness to overcome her anger. Bobby must overcome his fears with bravery as he encounters one wicked creature after another.

This middle-grade fantasy novel draws on themes and characters from classics such as Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland; C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress; and George MacDonald's Phantastes and The Wise Woman. Part Christian allegory and part adventure story, this book will get your kids thinking about spiritual and moral concepts.
