Life in Dearborn, New Jersey isn't just boring for fourteen-year-old Milo Banks - it's worse. After skipping a grade and becoming the shortest freshman in high school, it can be downright painful. Bullies, sports, girls—none of it is easy when you're small and unusually smart.
But then Milo witnesses an incredible feat of bravery. His father—the dashing Maxwell Banks, known for his clumsiness and quiet nature—rescues a girl from getting hit by a car. Only he does it by grabbing her and jumping fifty feet into the air, high above the houses on their street.
Milo’s father swears him to secrecy, insisting the knowledge could put their family in danger. But Milo goes against his father’s wishes and delves into his family’s mysterious past. When he does, he discovers a shocking truth—his parents are descendants of ancient gods who created another realm alongside earth—one of legend, where people ride winged horses, use magic, and change into animals at will.
To survive a sudden attack not even his gifted parents could see coming, Milo will have to awaken dormant magical abilities he never knew he possessed, become a target for assassination, and embark on a dangerous quest to save his world and the only people he loves… even if it means he can never return home again.
