A boy, a Magic Flashlight-and an adventure bigger than his biggest fear. Imagine a flashlight that beams you to another planet-one crackling with magic and danger! That's exactly what happens to ten-year-old Michael. One click, and he's standing at the legendary Lighthouse of Adventures-and instantly chased by dinosaurs, pirates, wizards, and battle robots. Worst of all, the monsters follow him home!
When a girl is kidnapped to the planet's dark side, the clock starts ticking. Can Michael face his fear and save his friends?
A fast, funny fantasy adventure set during the magical Christmas season-a story about friendship, courage, and finding the strength to grow beyond your fears.

Can Michael push past his fear and rescue his friends?
