The instant New York Times bestseller from visionary storyteller Ransom Riggs!
Weaving the familiar with the peculiar, this stunning tale of loss, triumph, friendship and magic, will remind readers everywhere that true heroes are made, not born—and when you’re never the chosen one, sometimes you have to choose yourself.
Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles. A man who pops a tooth into a parking meter. A glowing trapdoor in a parking lot. A half-mechanical raccoon with its tail on fire that just won’t leave him alone. Every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Max's Adventures in Sunderworld—and that’s because they are.
Not a good sign.
In the blurry weeks after his mother’s death, a young Leopold discovered VHS tapes of its one and only season in a box headed for the trash—and soon became obsessed. Losing himself in Sunder was the best way to avoid two things: grieving his mother and being a chronic disappointment to his overbearing father. But when the strange visions return—at the worst possible time on the worst possible day—Leopold turns to his best friend Emmet for help. Together they discover that Sunder is much more than just an old TV show, and that Los Angeles is far stranger than they ever imagined. And soon, he’ll realize that not only is Sunderworld real, but it’s in grave danger.
Certain he’s finally been chosen for greatness, Leopold risks everything to claim his destiny, save the world of his childhood dreams, and prove once and for all that he’s not the disappointment his father believes him to be. But when everything goes terribly, horribly, excruciatingly wrong, Leopold’s disappointments prove to be more extraordinary than he ever could have imagined.
How do you battle darkness when no one believes in you—not even yourself?
Welcome to Sunderworld.

Weird, unique and comforting
Ransom Riggs genuinely is a comfort author of mine. I loved this so much. I don’t know, but there is something about his books that make them so unique? Not just the ideas, but the entire feeling of reading them. The premise was intruiging & diving into it definitely didn’t dissapoint. The characters are likable and relatable & already felt like found family. This was weird and original and I’m so here for Vol. 2 ♥ -

Harry Potter meets Stranger Things, but make it weird
Welcome to Sunderworld! This is probably the strangest story ever but surprisingly it worked. It worked for me, to step into this strange world, that's both a 90's TV Show and reality, without getting terribly confused. Which is extraordinary. In this story, we follow Leopold, the most average child existing, who started to see weird things since his mother's death. Until one day, when he's given a token to actually enter this world he always saw on TV. That's when the magic begins. And the weirdness. Amazing concept and I loved the retro cover. I'm BERRY excited for the next installment!
