Beyonders; A World Without Heroes

By Brandon Mull

Jason is a young man who will be graduating out of middle school. He isn't the geek in school nor is he the popular kid. He loves baseball, but his not-very-supportive parents want him to go into dentistry. He currently works at the zoo.

One day while cleaning a hippo's cage, Jason is swallowed up by the hippo but he isn't in the stomach of the hippo he is in a whole different world. Lyrian, a world without heros.

For years Lyrian has been controlled by an evil wizard named Maldor. No one has been able to defeat Maldor for years. People have tried but no one succeeds. Supposedly there is a word that can destroy him. But if the word is spoken it is immediately forgotten by the speaker and all people around him. So enemies of Maldor devised a plan.
They hide syllables around Lyrian with clues to there location.

Jason stumbles upon one of the syllables. Then he goes to a blind king who knows about the syllables. And has been protecting another person from our world, Jason's world.
Jason and Rachel then go on a search for the remaining syllables.

This book starts out slow but then progresses into an entrancing tale of adventure. I love this book. It has made it way to my favorite book list. I would and will suggest this book to every person I know.
