About this listen
Finn knows one thing....
…trying to be popular can be scary.
What will he do when he meets an ogre?
At school, Finn is a typical nerd. He wears glasses, loves fantasy games, and excels at science. But he has one flaw, a selfish streak that sometimes gets him in trouble. Trying to be cool has its price, especially if you make fun of your best friend, Audie, to try to impress the jocks.
She is mad and hurt.
Audie thought they were BFFs.
But friends don't do that.
In a world of magic, elves, dwarfs, and fantastic creatures, a struggle rages on. When Finn and Audie, who is still mad at him, find themselves thrust into this alternate reality, they are unprepared for what comes next.
Who will help them?
What is the secret to the world of Nesteryia?
You'll love this YA fantasy, because Trevor Darby creates a magical world with wonderful characters and real dangers.
Get it now.

Story
Cameron Poole has a problem, a big problem: he's a bully magnet who struggles with anxiety. Being the smallest sixth-grader at his summer camp, everything around him triggers his everyday struggles with anxiety, or with his Beast, making it impossible for him to do the same things other kids can do. In a constant state of worry, Cameron feels like a perpetual failure, his self-esteem crushed. That's bad enough, but when Cameron learns that mythical monsters are trying to invade his camp, things go from bad to worse.

When a trip into the forest to collect a rare mushroom goes horribly wrong, I find myself falling through a fairy portal and straight into the arms of the Unseelie Fae prince. The dangerously unhinged and handsome Unseelie Fae prince. What could be more horrible than that? He thinks I'm an assassin sent by the humans to kill him, not a biologist. Determined to kill me first and rid himself of the human he has unwillingly grown obsessed with, yet also needing to entertain his people, the villain challenges me to three deadly trials.

To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

This is a fun book, with lots of action, suspense, and lot of growing up. It is wonderful in the fact that it points out how not to treat a friend, even though you might be growing apart. But it is also a great book of bullies from both worlds and how to help during these times. It is a wonderfully written book with awesome characters made even better by the wonderful narration of Fred Wolinsky, a man of a thousand voices, and he does have a different one for each character. His voice will also transport you to the land of Nesteryia and you can be there with Finn and Audie as they go through all their trials. I really can't wait for a book two and a chance to go back to Neseryia.

This was a great start to a series and although I did not like Finn at all at first (but this was deliberately done by the author), I liked how he changed as he traveled through Nestyria to rescue Audie. I think Finn's attitudes at the beginning are not too atypical for a middle school kid trying to be more popular and while some of his efforts of trying too hard made me cringe (and made me want to shake him for hurting Audie), it was also pretty realistic. Ultimately, Finn learns through his adventures that he wasn't really a very nice person to his friends, and he takes ownership of his own shortcomings. I ended up really enjoying the adventure and I even had some teary-eyed moments at the end, although I'm kind of a sap. My only quibble with this was that the narrator has an annoying way of delivering his sentences that stretch out the words. Speeding up the narration helped and the author's diction is very clear, so I had no trouble following the story. It was just the inflection that was a bit weird. Overall, I would give the narrator a 4 because I was able to speed up the narration and despite the odd inflection, it was very easy to follow without much backtracking, which is my biggest requirement for a narrator.
I definitely recommend this to middle school readers of all ages, especially those who enjoy adventure and fantasy.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
