Description:
Quote:"You've reached the age at which people in this family cross the border into the magical world. It's your turn for an adventure-yes, it's finally here!" So says Haroun to his younger brother, twelve-year-old Luka. The adventure begins one beautiful starry night in the land of Alifbay, when Luka's father, Rashid, falls suddenly into a sleep so deep that nothing and no one can rouse him. To save him from slipping away entirely, Luka embarks on a journey through the world of magic with his loyal companions, Bear, the dog, and Dog, the bear. Together they encounter a slew of fantastical creatures, strange allies, and challenging obstacles along the way-all in the hope of stealing the Fire of Life, a seemingly impossible and exceedingly treacherous task.Category:Fiction, Literature, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Teens & YA, World Fiction, Fiction Subjects, Teen Fiction, Literary Fiction, English, Scottish, & Welsh Fiction, Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction, Fantasy Fiction, Fantasy - Teen Fiction, Family & Friendship - Fiction, English Fiction - 21st Century, Fables & Allegories, Fantasy - Through the Looking Glass, Fantasy->Alternate worlds->Teen fiction, Fathers & Sons - Fiction
