About this eBook

When Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award winner Michael Reaves teamed up, they created the bestselling YA novel InterWorld.
 
InterWorld tells the story of Joey Harker, a very average kid who discovers that his world is only one of a trillion alternate earths. Some of these earths are ruled by magic. Some are ruled by science. All are at war.
 
Joey teams up with alternate versions of himself from an array of these worlds. Together, the army of Joeys must battle evil magicians Lord Dogknife and Lady Indigo to keep the balance of power between all the earths stable. Teens—and tweens and adults—who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream.

Ratings and reviews

A fantastic story, centering on a young boy who (accidentally) discovers he possesses extraordinary abilities. It's definitely a book geared toward a younger reader, but it never "talks down" to the reader. Fun, intense and at times mind-bending, this is definitely worth reading. Fair warning: there is a character death.

This is a fantastic mix of technology and fantasy. My only complaint is how short the book is. It is very well written and hard to put down. It is smart enough to have you looking up words but easy enough to read that it would be great for young adults as well. Great book!

Not much of a book guy but this story really pulled me into my own thoughts and imagination. As I read the book I felt as though I was a spectator, watching everything unfold. Looking forward to the second book.
