Publisher's summary

Thirteen-year-old Mark Harrison has a week to hike across the desert. He will meet his parents on the other side. By his fourth day, he’s made good time. As he settles in for the night, he gazes up at the stars, feeling completely content. Suddenly, a blue light streams from the sky, jolting Mark into another dimension. Now, in a land filled with strange jungle animals and primitive tribes, Mark desperately battles hunger, armed enemies, and superhuman powers. To find the way back to his own world, Mark will need to find greater resources and strength—but time is running out.

Gary Paulsen has written dozens of books for young people. His tales of adventure and survival have won the enthusiastic praise of young adults across the country and many awards, including three Newbery Honors and a Golden Spur award. In this imaginative story, Johnny Heller’s narration keeps you close by the resourceful young teenager’s side.

Loved this book!

This has always been a personal favorite of mine! It's more relevant now than ever. And quite interesting to hear through someone else's voice.

Interesting storyline.

I listened to this with my 11 & 13 yr old sons and we all really enjoyed the book. Gary Paulsen is our favorite author and this one didn't disappoint. Bonus is its worth 8 AR points for school.

The book that started it all.

This was my first fantasy story. It birthed my love of fantasy in the early 2000s.

This book could have fit the CORVID19!

This is an excellent book!!! Any age, I’m 75.
The only thing that is missing, is the character’s
original people, but I’m sure they were there, someplace.
Everyone should read all of Gary Paulsen’s books!!!
