Once Cole is trapped in the Five Kingdoms the plot falls into a typical and familiar cadence. I was hesitant to keep reading because the tone was so dark, however, frugality won out (because I had spent money on the book) and so I kept reading. The initial chapters where Cole, and his friends, are being kidnapped were too real to be fun to read. I have barely been able to get his nose out of Five Kingdoms to come up for food, air, sleep, ect. He had just finished reading the Michael Vey series for the second time and needed new material. I picked up a Five Kingdoms book at a Literacy Night in our school district knowing that my 12 year old son would like to read it. With the magic of the Outskirts starting to unravel, it’s up to Cole and an unusual girl named Mira to rescue his friends, set things right in the Outskirts, and hopefully find his way back home before his existence is forgotten. Some find their way there from our world, or from other worlds.Īnd once you come to the Outskirts, it’s very hard to leave. The Outskirts are made up of five kingdoms that lie between wakefulness and dreaming, reality and imagination, life and death. But when a spooky haunted house turns out to be a portal to something much creepier, Cole finds himself on an adventure on a whole different level.Īfter Cole sees his friends whisked away to some mysterious place underneath the haunted house, he dives in after them and ends up in The Outskirts. Cole Randolph was just trying to have a fun time with his friends on Halloween (and maybe get to know Jenna Hunt a little better).
