A World without Heroes (Beyonders #1), by Brandon Mull

(Paperback, 512 pages, first published in 2011)

When Jason falls through a tunnel and lands in a foreign world—a world with no heroes or hope—he is faced with the prospect of becoming the hero he never imagined he could be.

Cautions: Redeemed Reader writes, "Although there are some horrifying images that may disturb sensitive readers, we enjoyed all three audiobooks in the presence of the whole family, ages 4-13...Jason develops a boyish crush, but the interest remains pure." See full review here. 

Ages: 12+
