The Callers: The Journey Home - by Kiah Thomas (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

The thrilling conclusion to the Callers trilogy, an exciting new middle-grade fantasy series that explores the power of summoning objects into being and the ominous consequences of doing so. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan!

Quin's world is in turmoil . . .

The limits on Calling have been lifted, and Callers are now allowed to conjure up anything they want--from tables and chairs to food and clothes. But many on Elipsom still don't realize that everything they Call is being stolen from Evantra, a secret continent on the opposite side of the world.

Quin, Allie, and Davinia have been fighting to show people the truth. But Adriana Octavius, the Chief Councilor of Elipsom, will do anything she can to suppress the rising rebellion. Even if it means endangering the Vine, the life-giving force for all of Evantra and Elipsom. With Allie in jail, Davinia working desperately to keep up appearances as a committed Councilor, and Quin stranded on Evantra, their struggle is more desperate than ever. Tensions are rising across Elipsom, and the three friends will have to find their way back to each other, reveal the truth, and heal the Vine . . . before it's too late.

Moving and action-packed, the conclusion to the Callers saga shows the power of standing up for the truth and that anyone can change the world.

AWARD-WINNING FANTASY SERIES: Book 1 in the Callers trilogy received a Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) nomination and glowing praise. Crisp, engaging, accessible, and immediately thought-provoking, the series stands out among middle-grade fantasy novels. Combining lush landscapes, towering metropolises, and a hint of futurism, this world's distinctive look and feel is familiar and strange in all the right ways. Also, there are flying rhinoceroses.

RICH THEMES: This series explores hard, complex topics--including taking what you want vs. what you need, colonialism, coming of age, and what two worlds owe each other in light of their common humanity. Like the others in the series, Book 3 takes a deep, thoughtful look at essential issues and, in doing so, takes after some of the best works the fantasy genre has to offer.

PAGE-TURNER: This easy-to-read, fast-paced page-turner will be a joy for middle-grade readers who love immersive adventure and fantasy stories.

Perfect for:

• Middle-grade fantasy and sci-fi readers
• Teachers and librarians
• Anyone interested in books with environmental themes
• Readers looking for narratives told through multiple perspectives
• Fans of Jeanne DuPrau's The City of Ember, Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, or Lois Lowry's The Giver
