Sixteen-year-old Peter Hawk lives in a dark and broken world. His mother died of cancer, his father is an alcoholic, and he alone must take care of his nine-year-old sister. Even worse, he lives in a house full of hostile creatures who call themselves clowns. When a strange man shows up in their town and clowns begin to go missing, Peter ventures out to search for answers. He doesn’t get far before he’s thrust into the middle of a battle, where the clowns are seen for who they really are, and Peter discovers a gate that will lead him into another world. Danger is looming, but before Peter can enter the gate, he must find his sister who has gone missing. He has an impossible decision to make. Should he stay in his old world and try to find her or enter into a new world where a journey to discover God awaits? No matter what he chooses, he must grapple with the unforgiveness he harbors for his father and the brokenness that stems from his mother’s death. Both worlds are fraught with danger, but only one offers hope.
The author has nailed this! Truth and insight combining to warn, enlighten & empower. I see many places where I have failed & fallen for the lies, but I also see the love & Grace that encourages and strengthens me. I need to give this some time to soak in them I will rereading it.
