Little, Brown Books for Young Readers | Hachette
Twelve-year-old Riley Singh is in deep trouble - and that’s not even considering the interdimensional sorcerer out for his blood.
Instead of wasting his time studying, Riley and his friends spend their afternoons playing a game where they can go on adventures as imaginary heroes. Unfortunately for them, the villain of their newest adventure turns out to be anything but imaginary. And when they're pulled through the folds of reality for their insolence, Riley will do anything to get back home - even if it means dooming the rest of the multiverse to eternal darkness.
Billy Yong will illustrate.
