Between Worlds is the exciting new sci-fi/fantasy series from Skip Brittenham featuring two teen outsiders who discover magic in their small town.
A fantastical world, terrifying monsters, breathtaking magic, and two determined and brave teenagers. Welcome to Between Worlds (Putnam/publication date: August 30, 2016), the debut of a new young adult science fiction/fantasy series by Skip Brittenham.
It’s the next generation of storytelling, using Augmented Reality (AR) technology so that readers can see 3D characters and images from the book leap off the pages. The AR “magic” can be easily activated by downloading the free app at BetweenWorldsApp.com and pairing it with the camera on one’s mobile device. The creatures from Between Worlds move, react and fight back if you poke them!
Brittenham was inspired by his own daughters to tell this story, with feisty and brave Mayberry, who is featured in the book’s trailer, as the central character. Learn more at BetweenWorldsBook.com.
About ‘Between Worlds’
The town of Eden Grove has a legend: In the center of a pine forest there is an aspen grove, and in the center of the aspen grove is an ancient, magnificent tree. A tree that grants wishes.
Mayberry and Marshall have heard the stories about the Wishing Tree, but they know nothing like that could really exist near their dreary town. Misunderstood and restless, the teenagers wish for a lot of things, including being on another planet altogether. Somewhere with magic and adventure — someplace where they can be heroes.
And then the unlikeliest thing happens: On a hike through the forest, they find the Wishing Tree. The pair make their wish, fall asleep . . . and wake up on Nith, a world that is exactly what they asked for. The alien landscape is beautiful, but it’s also full of dangerous and fantastic creatures, and almost without exception, the creatures are hungry. Soon Mayberry and Marshall learn two very important facts about their wish: First, that magic comes at a very steep cost; second, that they can only be heroes if they can survive. The journey that follows will test the limits of their courage and strength . . . and change them in ways they haven’t begun to imagine.
