The Other Realm

Days before a huge sandstorm is forecast to hit her hometown, Azalea Morroe falls through the floor of the apartment she shares with her mad scientist father and into . . . another realm. Determined to make the most of the situation, Azalea sets out on a mission to gather information that will save her father's career- and maybe even his sanity. Along the way, she teams up with Sunny, another teenage girl with a quest, a lonely ghost named Sam, and Bo, a goofy St. Bernard. Will they make it across the perilous Prileidan Desert alive?

The Other Realm is Tristan Hui's first novel, written when she was 14 years old. It won the Stone Soup Book contest 2020. A future-fiction fantasy in the tradition of The Wizard of Oz, The Other Realm is an original and gripping adventure story, told in lively, compelling language that will engage readers of all ages.
