    About this series

    In the previous volume Johnnie found his everyday life destroyed by a creation from a parallel world where fairies and monsters existed. His mother is taken during the night before he can learn what is going on and he now must seek the help of a girl, who he just can't seem to get along with, but without whom his quest might surely fail. Soon the two of them are pursued by a feral creature that possesses the town sheriff. Unable to defeat the monster that has taken over the sheriff, the two end up in the

    Great Wonderful, a parallel world which has co-existed between ours and another's forever. The land is called the Great Wonderful, but unfortunately, they find out that wonderful it is not. Chased by one monster after another, they are almost ready to give up when they start meeting denizens of the land who befriend them.
    With their newfound friends, but oddly disturbing at times creatures and sometimes almost enemies, they get closer and closer to discovering the mystery surrounding Johnnie's father's disappearance, as well as the kidnapping of his mother. But the biggest surprise is yet to come. For the fallen Land of the Great Wonderful has many more secrets yet to reveal and its OZ, unlike the one of Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz, is not nearly so safe to find.

      It should have been a great time of the year for Johnnie. High school was nearing a close for him and he was looking forward to a peaceful vacation with his mother during the Christmas break. Yes. It should have been. And perhaps it might have been if not for Sheriff Parsons, who is not what he seems. Johnnie is pursued by a shadow being from another dimension, who seeks to enslave and destroy him for reasons Johnnie can't understand. His mother is kidnapped and he and his best friend, who is also sometimes his fiercest enemy in some ways, are shoved in to a pursuit that could mean life or death for them. They are pursued by the dark shadow being who can suck the life from someone with its touch. Hoping to escape the fiend, the two seek a passage through the frozen winterscape of the high mountains, only to find themselves narrowly escaping the fiend. Finally, in a hopeless confrontation at Johnnie's home, he and his girlfriend, Pat, are caught in an interdimensional portal which translates them into the Great Wonderful, a beautiful land that is being dragged down into the depths of darkness and shadow by an evil Prince. They must brave strange creatures and a strange world where death can come as easily as great beauty to seek a way home and rescue his mother.
