Shuna, the prince of a poor land, watches in despair as his people
work themselves to death harvesting the little grain that grows
there. And so, when a traveler presents him with a sample of seeds
from a mysterious western land, he sets out to find the source of
the golden grain, dreaming of a better life for his subjects. It is
not long before he meets a proud girl named Thea. After freeing her
from captivity, he is pursued by her enemies, and while Thea
escapes north, Shuna continues toward the west, finally reaching
the Land of the God-Folk. Will Shuna ever see Thea again? And will
he make it back home from his quest for the golden grain?
Beyond our wildest imaginations, other worlds and dimensions
exist that are vastly different than ours. These worlds beyond both
fascinate and frighten us, but more importantly, they have the
potential to bring a great good we never could have envisioned.
In this intriguing collection of stories that explores the
ramifications of encounters with beings from the beyond, the
appearance of a bewildering and elusive visitor to an
eleven-year-old resident brings an unusual gift that turns his
entire town inside out. Two young siblings-whose parents have just
left them for a year with their callous aunt and uncle-soon
discover they have an angry ghost to contend with as well. As a
family moves into a strange house, they find the house a lot
stranger than they bargained for. When a boy finds his school
filled with the ghosts of fellow students and teachers, he is
mystified when he sees these same people still alive in the
flesh.
"From Beyond to Here" is a compilation of stories for young fans
of the supernatural sure to entertain and raise questions about
intriguing parallel worlds.
