The Missing

By Garth Nix and Sean Williams

“The Troubletwisters are back and the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been” in this fantasy adventure by the New York Times–bestselling authors! (School Library Journal)

Jack and Jaide Shield have defended themselves against The Evil before—but it’s never been as dangerous as this. It isn’t just the town of Portland that’s threatened, it’s the whole Earth . . . and certain dimensions beyond.

The Wardens have devised a plan to get rid of The Evil once and for all. The only problem is that destroying The Evil may also mean abandoning some innocent people—including one of the twins. The battle against The Evil is going to places it’s never been—places Jack and Jaide would have never even imagined possible. Their mission is clear: survive the storm that’s coming, and save the ones who are missing . . .
