A barbershop doorway to a legendary world

Jarell feels out of place at home and school, where his love of drawing sets him apart from the other boys. The barbershop, where its owner displays his artwork, is his refuge—until a hidden portal opens onto a world of gods and dangerous creatures. There, Jarell encounters a startling change in how others see him: they believe he is the hero they have been waiting for. The fantasy premise connects questions of belonging and self-expression with a journey into a magical realm, and the story is presented as the beginning of a highly illustrated series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 9–12 looking for a fantasy adventure with a young protagonist.

Book overview

The start of a thrilling, highly illustrated series about a boy who finds a portal to a legendary world in his local barbershop . . . and learns he's the hero they've been waiting for. For younger fans of Black Panther and Last Gate of the Emperor!

 

Jarell has never quite known where he belongs. He's ignored at home and teased at school for wanting to draw instead of playing sports with the other boys. The only place he's ever felt truly at ease is his local barbershop where the owner hangs Jarell's art up on the walls.

 

When Jarell discovers a hidden portal in the barbershop, he's transported to a magical world that's unlike anything he's seen before. But it's not just the powerful gods and dangerous creatures that makes this world different--it's that everyone believes Jarell is the hero they've been waiting for.
