Worlds Apart

Description

Ben Freeman is just an ordinary boy from the New Forest… Or so he believes until one day whilst on a camping trip, he stumbles into another dimension; a strange and dark world called the Shadow Realm.

Ravaged by a magical war, the few surviving residents eke out a pitiful existence, living under the oppressive regime of the evil Lord Blackwood.

In an effort to understand what the Shadow Realm is, and why he can travel there, Ben convinces his friends to go with him, so they can see this ghostly world for themselves. What they find there pitches them into the middle of an inter-dimensional war, sparking an urgent and desperate battle to save not only themselves, but also our own world from complete annihilation. Can Ben stop Blackwood before it’s too late?

Worlds Apart is a middle grade novel, perfect for children aged 9 – 14 years old.

R.J. Waller was born in Salisbury, England, and grew up in a village on the outskirts of the New Forest. He now lives in Worcestershire with his wife, two children, Dalmatian and cats. Lazy days larking around in the forest in his youth, and a fascination for stories of other worlds and dimensions, provided the inspiration for this first novel.
