    About this audiobook

    Immersive augmented reality brings this action-packed fantasy to life.

    The town of Eden Grove has a legend: In the center of a pine forest there is an aspen grove, and in the center of the aspen grove is an ancient, magnificent tree. A tree that grants wishes.

    Mayberry and Marshall have heard the stories about the Wishing Tree, but they know nothing like that could really exist near their dreary town. Misunderstood and restless, the teenagers wish for a lot of things, including being on another planet altogether. Somewhere with magic and adventure-someplace where they can be heroes.

    And then the unlikeliest thing happens: On a hike through the forest, they find the Wishing Tree. The pair make their wish, fall asleep . . . and wake up on Nith, a world that is exactly what they asked for. The alien landscape is beautiful, but it's also full of dangerous and fantastic creatures, and almost without exception, the creatures are hungry. Soon Mayberry and Marshall learn two very important facts about their wish: First, that magic comes at a very steep cost; second, that they can only be heroes if they can survive. The journey that follows will test the limits of their courage and strength . . . and change them in ways they haven't begun to imagine.

    This epic work brings fantasy to life, first by inviting listeners into another world, then by using cutting-edge augmented reality technology to bring the world alive in interactive 3D.

      The first part of the book was a little slow for me but it keeps just enough interest to keep reading while the alternate universe is established and background information is shared. The story picks up when two of the young people have to struggle to save themselves and another boy stuck there. The potential for sequels are there which would justify the slow start (some).The addition of the smartphone app can be viewed from a couple of perspectives. One is to consider it a negative and a gimmick. That is likely a more prevalent feeling among readers my age who may lament the intrusion of technology into the world of reading. There are certainly arguments for that view but I can't state them very well because I am not looking at it from that perspective. My teaching experience was at university level and augmenting texts has always been a positive thing to increase student engagement. The elementary and middle school teachers I know and asked about this idea were largely supportive as long as it wasn't simply a way to coax more money. If it helped to make the young readers more likely to read future volumes or perhaps encourage them to be creative and write their own stories in this new alternate world then the idea seemed to be well-received. Those feelings reflect my own but the teachers engaging children that age expressed it far better than I could.I would recommend this for young readers who like fantasy. This seems like a lighter form than many fantasy series so this might get readers at a slightly younger age or those hesitant to open a more daunting book. I did not explore the app so can not comment on the content or uses of it.Reviewed from a copy made available through Goodreads First Reads.
