About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to grapple with the idea that the right choice isn't always the easy one, or when they are feeling the pressure of peer influence. It is an ideal pick for readers who enjoy high-stakes adventure but are ready to explore deeper questions about the ethics of using power, even when it is used for a good cause. In the town of Dimvale, Morton Clay and his siblings discover that their world is being warped by dangerous magical gadgets and mutant creatures. While the plot is filled with fast-paced action and imaginative science-fiction elements, the heart of the story lies in the siblings' bond and their struggle with a difficult dilemma: is it okay to use forbidden magic to stop a greater evil? The book is perfectly suited for middle-grade readers (ages 8 to 12) who enjoy a blend of mystery and fantasy with a relatable sibling dynamic.
