The Portals of Amaranth - Book One
Two weeks before Josh Ryan’s thirteenth birthday, he’s called out of school to meet his mother at work. When he arrives, she’s disappeared. Instead, he meets a kind stranger who somehow seems familiar, and Josh’s world begins to change in ways he could never imagine. First, there’s his mom’s boss, who knows more about her whereabouts than he admits. Next, a surprise attack by ferocious other-worldly creatures, and his escape through hidden rooms and secret passages leading to events and adventures that become stranger and stranger. Everywhere Josh goes, the only explanation seems to be the one he finds hardest to believe – that magic is real, and is somehow connected to his mom’s disappearance.
