Jack Zulu and the Waylander's Key is an enchanting adventure in the tradition of Tolkien and Lewis, as well as Spielberg and Lucas. But this fantastical journey launches in rural West Virginia in the '80s, with a half-Appalachian, half-African kid trying to escape the town he sees defining his small, sad life. Jack discovers a gate hiding a city between 12 realms and finds out where he truly belongs in a surprising, satisfying adventure.

Awesome fantasy novel, can't wait for the next one

This is an excellent book with relatable characters entering a fantastical world. The performance is superb and really brings the characters to life. I can't wait to listen to book two!

Wheelers good books

I liked the book but it doesn’t match green ember the sequel is out it’s called the girl with golden wings I will definitely read it I felt like Jack was very Whiney at times but it had good bible references
The reader wasn’t very good though.
To everyone over ten

Great Story Great Values

We listened to it as a family and had to immediately buy book 2! Fantastic book!

Absolutely Riveting, Profound, Beautiful

What a story of character, true goodness, evil's power, imagination, humor, battles won and lost, love, friendship, courage, hope and a superlative happy ending!!!

Virtue and bravery

My family has listened to this story at least 5 times this year. It is an epic tale of friendship, adventure, and deciding who you are—all within the realm of family and loyalty.

Captivating story

This is a captivating story to the very end. Lots of foreshadowing keeps you wondering. Lots of fun little pokes to the culture of 1984. Also deals well with a boy’s emotions with this serious illness of his mother, and still dealing with the loss of his father.

Best book ever!!!!!!

I absolutely love this book! S.D. Smith did a wonderful job! Zeno Robinson did great too with different voices for the characters!
I would totally recommend this book for all ages, and for listening to as a family.

Adventure, fantasy, and heart

The whole family loved it! Zeno Robinson does a great job reading this fantasy adventure set in 1980's smalltown America. Looking forward to the sequel.

Creativity from the author and an amazing story

The story was more than I expected. I loved every second of it. The characters were well described and the story itself was brilliant. Looking forward to the next book.

A fantastic story of struggle and victory

This story was interesting and a bit mysterious. With mythical creatures mixed in with reality. A book that was hard to put down and left me wondering what would be next.
