Description
Milo finds himself the subject of fascination, fear, and excitement by the elf-like population, who aren't sure what to do with him, until he sets out on an adventure to protect them from the evil wizard. Along the way, he finally encounters his mother, who turns out to be a sorceress from this world, and the polar opposite power of the evil wizard. He's the lost scion of a new generation and wizards, and he never knew it (even though his three aunts and the golden fish did). Milo is the key in this battle; if the wizard manages to capture him, there will be no more opponents in the world on this side of the lake, meaning he could extend his domination and carry it even further, leading the conquest of the multiple parallel universes . . .
A beautifully illustrated, family-friendly, magical adventure in the vein of Amulet and The Wizard of Oz.
The first of three self-contained story volumes.
Reviews
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (Good Comic for Kids Blog) -- Lion Forge releases an adventure set in a new magical world. Milo, having never known his mother, and with his father working in the city, lives with his three elderly aunts near a lake. He soon discovers many strange things in this lake; a fish egg that hatches a magnificent golden fish, a toad man who is interested in the fish, and a fiery young girl who was being held prisoner by toad man, who he frees. Now on the run, Milo finds himself on "the other side" of the lake, a parallel world where an evil wizard rules over an elf-like population. He seeks to extend his rule to the other parallel worlds, and only Milo stands in his way. The first of a three part series, this volume also stands on its own, and will appeal to fans of titles like Amulet and the Wizard of Oz.
