Description:

Milo Banks was just 14 years old when it happened - the most confusing and electrifying event of his life. It began when his father showed an ability of superhuman strength that couldn't possibly be real. Then his mother made the light glow from her hands. After that, Milo didn't know what to believe. Suddenly, his hometown of Dearborn, New Jersey has become a place where anything can happen - and his family is trying desperately to keep it a secret. When a mysterious man, dressed in black, appears at Milo's school - bearing a promise and a threat - all of Milo's fears and anxieties become a living nightmare. Everything his parents have told him has been a lie: the Banks family is actually from a different world, and they have enemies who will stop at nothing to hunt them down and kill them. One of these men tries to attack Milo's sister Emma - but before he reaches her, Milo accidentally launches a fireball and a bolt of lightning from his hands. It's a power that shouldn't exist - not on Earth, anyway. Which is why, when Milo and Emma find themselves trapped in another realm - one that has been hidden behind our world for ages - they will have to rely on their superhuman potential, as well as a rowdy group of misfits who might be the best friends they never had, to save a world on the brink of annihilation.
