Description
"You must find the Key. You are the only one who can."
With these words, Ambrose Peters learns that the bedtime stories his parents told him are real.
On his twelfth birthday, he and his friends Stan and Aurora discover a curious note in the library of his home, an old estate in the heart of Toronto. When peculiar creatures start turning up, the three of them stumble on a mysterious world hidden in the wild spaces of their once-familiar city.
But Ambrose's time is running out. With an ancient menace closing in on him, Ambrose must find the key to save himself, his friends, and the extraordinary—and dangerous—new world they only just discovered.
The Roughling is an epic adventure teeming with mystery, friendship, action, unforgettable characters and perilous secrets.
