    About this audiobook

    Bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Ryan Graudin invite readers into a wondrous world where lost things are found, and where two cousins must come face-to-face with the impossible…

    Whenever Jake and Marisol get together, adventure follows. They have their late Nana to thank for that. Her epic trips and treasure hunts were legendary.

    With the whole family reuniting for one last summer vacation at Nana’s home, the cousins are prepared for an extraordinary trip of their own. Following a map Nana left behind, Jake and Marisol sneak out to a nearby lighthouse—then accidentally slip into another world! 

    The World Between Blinks is a magical place, where all sorts of lost things and people wind up. Everywhere they turn, the cousins find real mysteries from history and a few they thought were just myths, from pilot Amelia Earhart to the fabled city of Atlantis.

    But the man who holds the key to Jake and Marisol’s journey home doesn’t want to be found . . . and if the cousins don’t catch him fast, they could end up lost in this world forever.

    This first book in an exciting, fast-paced fantasy adventure series—featuring fun, interesting facts about history––is perfect for fans of Chris Colfer’s Land of Stories and Margaret Peterson Haddix’s The Missing series!

      I’m an adult, and I enjoyed it! The plot made sense and kept my attention.
    • 5/5
      Two cousins about to be hit with a second helping of loss when their late grandmother's beach home is being emptied in preparation to be sold. One very much wants to hold on to memories, the other wanting to shed them. When they find and follow a map Gram left hidden, it is the beginning of an adventure that involves a place where lost people and things collect, a bad guy who's not what he seems, and some very exciting adventures. All of it wrapped up in a fast paced story with plenty of action and intrigue. Props for the list in the back of places in the book and where/who they were in our history. It's a dandy option for both school and public libraries to buy.
