About this listen

Henry Simmons is your typical American 17-year-old kid, who likes to play games, reads comics, and ogles his dream girl, Tracey Maxwell. Henry's life takes a dramatic turn when he finds a magical golden coin. When he learns about the coin's power, the love-struck teenager makes a wish for Tracey to be his prom date. It's granted but soon matters take a turn for the worst. On Prom Night, his date's ex beats him up. While lying on the ground, a drop of Henry's blood falls onto the coin, opening up a portal, taking him and Tracey to another world.

While there, the two teenagers meet two USAF pilots from 1945 and a talking cat named Jasper. Together they learn that they've been chosen to help King Argoth free his people from an oppressive race of creatures known as the Sadarkians. Not only must Henry learn how to properly harness the coin's power but he, Tracey and co. must learn how to fight and prepared to do combat in an epic battle for freedom. With the Sadarkian army vastly out numbering King Argoth's though, will Henry and his little troop succeed in a world where danger lurks around every corner and nothing is at it seems.

I found this to be a fully engaging fantasy novel. From the start, I was pulled into the story, along with the characters, as they explored a world alien to them. With fantasy, I always look to the world building aspect for rating it. Does the new world just get explained to me, is it just lightly fleshed out? With The Lost Son, the world building is complex and not narrated to us. We learn as the characters learn, through action and words, not just by being told. It feels like we are on the same journey of discovery as they are, and the elements felt organic. The narration is excellent, the characters are brought to life and each character felt and sounded distinct.

Absolutely engaging story
