The Maker-Man of Merryville
by Pete Mesling
Middle-grade
fantasy, 269 pages
Young
Gilbert Sullivan, hoping that a new toy store will bring joy to the dreary town
of Merryville, finds instead that it leads him to another world, where a
fearsome queen named Mixie is hard at work sealing the shared fate of both
worlds.
The owner
of the toy store—known to the people of Merryville only as the
Maker-Man—convinces Gilbert to purchase a magical substance, which he uses to
open a portal to a place called Skaaten Dowe. He and his friend Sarah step
through and quickly find that the portal, on the Skaaten Dowe side, is
inaccessible for an immediate return trip. They have no choice but to embark on
the adventure of a lifetime. Only with the help of many strange and wonderful
new friends can they hope to make it back to Merryville and restore happiness
there.
Join this marvelous adventure!
