Five Elements #2: The Shadow City by Dan Jolley

Five Elements #2: The Shadow City by Dan Jolley

The second book in an epic middle grade series with awesome elemental powers, nightmarish creatures, and nonstop adventure that will thrill kids who love Avatar: The Last Airbender, Rick Riordan, and Brandon Mull.

Five elements. Two worlds. One city.and one chance to save it.

In the past two weeks, Gabe Conway has fought a six-winged dragon, bound himself to the element of fire, and rescued one of his best friends from the twisted parallel dimension known as Arcadia. Now he has to find a way to do something even more impossible: destroy Arcadia forever--before a sinister cult unleashes its nightmare of death and destruction across San Francisco.

Thrilling entertainment. This fast-paced fantasy adventure should please readers of Cassandra Clare and Holly Black's Magisterium series.--School Library Journal
