About this listen

They said her grandfather was dead. They said her grandmother was crazy. Christy knows they're wrong.

When her grandmother dies, 13-year-old Christy inherits an old family secret: The pond behind her house is, in fact, a portal to another world. What's more, she learns her grandfather went through the portal when he mysteriously "disappeared" nine years ago. Christy tries to respect her grandmother's final wishes to not go exploring, but when a classmate named Rob falls into the pond, she has to act.

Since no one would believe her if she told them the truth about the pond, Christy arranges her own rescue party. In order to rescue Rob, she'll have to brave a bizarre alien landscape, evade hostile creatures, and protect Danny, the boy from next door who followed her through the portal.

Meanwhile on Earth, the grown-ups launch a frantic search, and they're willing to drain the pond to find out what happened. Will Christy be able to find her grandfather, rescue Rob, and return safely to Earth before she becomes a permanent resident of the Empty World?

I loved this book so much (which I received free in exchange for my unbiased opinion) that I purchased the entire box set. The twists of the weird other world, excellent writing/explanations of the alien world, and the fact that the young protagonists are not bumbling idiots (all the time) lead me to adore this. I especially found that I loved Brad. Perhaps his knowledge was a bit “too” accurate for my liking, but knowing quite a few children on the spectrum I found it believable he was the only one sometimes interpreting this alien land. Hoping to listen to and read more from this author. I kinda wanna see sketches of all the characters, in the way the author saw them when writing.

Adored!
