Hafeez and Sara
Mr. Bilderblung is trapped inside the stomach of his enormous genetically modified lion - and he needs to get out immediately - or he will die...
To get him out, his assistant, Sims, will need the help of three 10th graders Jonah, Samiya, and Archie. And, just to complicate matters, a powerful creature, The Master, from another planet, has all the help he needs from some corrupt humans to take over the world. With help from the mysterious Comers, beings from a parallel world, the young adventurers and Sims will have to race against time to save Bilderblung - and the world.
“…A long journey between…two Earths, uncovering a larger, secret planetary web involving the FBI, the Oval Office…Readers will delight in the continuous slew of spunky, singular characters…This quirky novel bursts with creativity and fun.” – Kirkus Reviews
“With a plot line as twisty and wackadoodle as the characters that populate its pages, The Great Lion Escape is a hilarious fusion of science fiction, school story, and fantasy adventure…an entertaining read…by a kid-and-parent team who gets what makes a good story.” – The Children’s Book Review
