In this fantasy novel, the main purpose of the story was to entertain. It was not a really deep novel, even though there were a few personal and moral conflicts. It was an action-packed story set in a series of parallel worlds. Most of the characters had magical abilities. The main character, a boy named Simon, leaves planet Earth with a magic user trainee named Tonya. They are stranded on a paraworld completely devoid of magic and make friends there. Soon, Simon discovers that he is the only person that can perform magic on that particular planet. With their newfound friends, Simon and Tonya must save the world and make their way off the planet. In the other paraworlds, sinister events are taking place. The ending answers the immediate questions, but leaves some questions to be resolved later in the series.
