Illusionarium: A YA Fantasy Adventure of Parallel Worlds, Illusions, and Humor

<p>What if the world holds more dangers—and more wonders—than we have ever known? And what if there is more than one world? From Heather Dixon, author of the acclaimed <em>Entwined</em>, comes a brilliantly conceived adventure that sweeps us from the inner workings of our souls to the far reaches of our imaginations. </p><p>Jonathan is perfectly ordinary. But then—as every good adventure begins—the king swoops into port, and Jonathan and his father are enlisted to find the cure to a deadly plague. Jonathan discovers that he's a prodigy at working with a new chemical called fantillium, which creates shared hallucinations—or illusions. And just like that, Jonathan is knocked off his path. Through richly developed parallel worlds, vivid action, a healthy dose of humor, and gorgeous writing, Heather Dixon spins a story that calls to mind <em>The Night Circus</em> and Pixar movies, but is wholly its own. </p>
