Description
Upon stepping into a dark shed in the middle of the forest, twin brothers River and Terran are transported to a remote prisoner island in the magical world of Arbore – a world crawling with strong magic, hidden snares, and rogue creatures. Using their powers to control the elements of water and earth, the boys must escape the mysterious island inhabitants and discover their way to the mainland. But if they make it off the island, what dangers await on the mainland?
River and Terran face the ultimate test: to save this otherworld – and each other. With the help of the seafarers, elves, warrior princesses, healers, and Magisters they meet along the way, our heroes endure a riveting adventure of harsh wilderness, epic battles, tangled romances, elemental sciences, spiritual encounters and hardcore survival. Like Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia, New York Times bestselling author Ben G. Greenfield’s World Leapers series is sure to entertain fantasy fans of all ages.

Featured Reviews
This book has it all. The Forest dips its toes into every kind of adventure, from wildlife, survival and exploration, to pirates, sea monsters, evil adversaries and altogether the action packed journey of two boys to become heroes in another strange world.
The main characters are likeable and relatable creating an interest in the reader to keep following their journey, with the added extra insight that is given by knowing what they are thinking and feeling, the reader gets to know them well.
There are times when descriptions of scenes or characters become a little repetitive, long winded, and at some points confusing which can be frustrating but worth pushing past to stay on the journey.
I noticed also a few words used that are either derivative or directly from other famous children's books which frustrated me as an adult because I think without them this book has it's own standing, but with them, the reader then is led to compare or become vexed as to why they were used.
Despite those minor frustrations, this book will be much enjoyed by anyone wanting to be transported into a great adventure, and possibly more to come in future books.
An enjoyable and entertaining read, well written and action packed.
I liked the well thought world building, the relatable and fleshed out characters and the gripping plot.
I'd like to read other books by this author.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
