James and his best friend Craig are soon drawn into a dying world full of hideous monsters and a race of human-like creatures called Manimals. James comes to realise that Denthan can only be saved if he finds a magical talisman in time. But time is not something Denthan has. And he doesn't even know what he's looking for. And it's not only the inhabitants of this strange other world who are at risk. Unbeknownst to James, his mixed-up mother and half the village have followed them to Denthan. Can James find the Talisman in time? Is his father in Denthan too? And can he save a whole world and everyone he loves?
