Do parallel worlds exist? Searching for proof, Professors Rodger & Cassie Swift vanish. Kestrelle, a spirit girl claiming to know their fate, tells their son Braden he must brave a whitewater, tooth-sprouting river into a land where wise vultures predict the future and blue minds inhabit lava caves, singing entire worlds into existence. What she doesn't tell him is that the role he will play is that of a thief and a traitor, or that she will be put on trial for her life. Only two powers can help: Kestrelle's Blood Thorn and Braden's vine-painted guitar. (For All Ages)
