Comic Strip Fiction / Graphic Novels
The eagerly awaited conclusion of the second trilogy in the series by fan-favorite artist Bannister that has been popular with kids from middle readers through teens, this return to ElseWhere is full of action and monsters, and reveals the secrets and dangerous plots of the world beyond the mirror.
Led by Papa Gabe through the realm of the Master of Shadows-and still shaken by the loss of Noah-Rebecca, Max, and Theo gradually understand why Papa Gabe is so familiar with these dangerous lands: he created them. More determined than ever to end the Master's control, the kids and Papa Gabe come up with a risky plan to strike the Master at the source of his powers, a crumbling castle fiercely guarded by the Shadow Spies. Rebecca's life depends on defeating them, as well as any hope for her and her friends to return home.
