It’s called astral projection: the ability to separate one’s spiritual essence from the physical body and travel throughout different dimensions of space and time. When it suddenly begins happening to young Lali Yavari, she realizes something big is happening to her – something she's sure is linked to her mother's disappearance. And when the mysterious Kai Awana shows up at her school, she seeks Lali’s help to get to a world she never knew existed, promising to help Lali find her mom in exchange. Unsure if she can trust Kai, Lali soon realizes she has no choice – especially not with her mother’s life hanging in the balance.

Xodus is one of those rare literary treats that truly has something for everyone. Masterfully crafted by author K.J. McPike, this engrossing YA tale touches on everything from love to trust to sacrifice to forgiveness, all set against the backdrop of urban fantasy and adventure. Over the course of her own young life, McPike has become quite the world traveler, and her love for diverse, exotic locales shines through in the pages of her standout debut offering. Penned in a unique, highly original storytelling style, Xodus is a modern YA classic in the making, soon to be followed by what’s sure to be a spellbinding second installment. Kudos to McPike for making a fresh, unforgettable entry into the ever popular YA genre.
