Some Glow Brightly

By: John Palmer Gregg

Narrated by: Michael O'Donnell

Imperceptible to most, a supernatural dimension - one filled with evil spirits, and worse - operates alongside our own. A barrier protects us from them, but deep in a forest cave the ancient Hermit labors to destroy that barrier. Then there will be nothing to stop the tide of evil from overtaking our world.

After a terrible accident, 14-year-old Red Snyder discovers he has the ability to cross into the spiritual world and finds himself face to face with the evil menace. With his father in danger and the enemy closing in, Red resolves to fight, but he can't do it alone.

An unlikely coalition forms around Red - Tom, an old man who knows about the spirit world; Michael, Red's loyal lifelong best friend; Wendy, the child genius; Chase, a martial arts master turned vigilante; and Esmé, an escaped circus performer - and together they stand as the last best hope of all mankind.

Fun YA for any age!

Good story! The narration was a little stiff at times, but for the most part it was fine. I didn't realize it was YA until over halfway through; it really is a book for any age.

Colorfully Gripping

This is a wonderful coming of age story for young and old alike. This fantastical world and its characters are quite creatively imagined. As the mysteries are uncovered, one begins to wonder how closely this fantasy is based in our reality. Just below the surface of this exciting story are healthy perspectives of our own complex lives; death, abuse, addiction, loneliness, purpose, doing wrong for the right reason, fear and forgiveness all find some resolution. Some Glow Brightly is a book worthy of your time that may even change the way you see your own world.
