The Portal Weaver and The Otherworld

by Jules Dickson

Luan never expected to catch a mermaid, especially one from another world.
Little Surf needs to return home to Loselliaha, a magical realm connected to Earth through ancient portals. But when Luan discovers that something in her world may be able to save his terminally ill mother, he refuses to let her go alone.
Together, they embark on a dangerous journey filled with strange creatures, ancient secrets, unexpected friendships, and magic more powerful than either of them imagined.
But Surf is being hunted by a mysterious warlock and getting home may be only the beginning.
The Portal Weaver and the Otherworld is a fast-paced coming-of-age fantasy about friendship, found family, neurodivergence, and discovering that the things that make you different might also make you powerful.
