"The second book in Applegate's new Everworld is just as exciting as the first. The group of teenagers come across the paths of wolfs that are as big as elephants,etc. Everything is reversed in Everworld. All of a sudden the group is captured by a local village in the jungle. The group attempts to escape. What happens? Well, lets just say it's a big suprise to the readers!!"
