K2 O’Hero is a seemingly ordinary boy – after all, he and his twin sister Izzabird have been sworn to keep their family’s magical history a secret. Not even their infuriating stepsiblings, Theo and Mable, know that magic exists. They believe K2 to be the most hopeless person they have ever known. But K2 has a secret gift: he draws maps of worlds that are beyond the wildest of imaginations. Worlds with six hundred moons, burning rivers and dark, twisty jungles alive with plants that hunt by the smell of fear. But what K2 doesn’t know, is that the maps he draws are real. When their baby sister Annipeck is kidnapped, the warring stepsiblings will have to use K2’s gift to find a crossing point into one of those worlds and embark on a daring rescue mission.

Borzoi School Book Club, Children's Middle GradeBorzoi School Book Club Review:
I enjoyed this book very much! It made me feel curious and I wanted to read on. On one occasion, I read 150 pages in one day! The author chose the vocabulary and plot so it maintained my interest throughout the book. Every part of the book surprised me; however, one part I remember that really surprised me was when it turned out that Horizabel the bounty hunter was actually The Story-Teller! My favourite character was K2 because he is brave and faces his fears even when he doesn’t want to and would rather be drawing in an Alternative Atlas. I would recommend this book, especially to my family. We are all fans of Harry Potter and this story reminds me of those books too. My first Cressida Cowell book- and certainly not my last.
