Overview
Tom Fox gets shuffled from foster home to foster home. He never stays long enough at any school to make lasting friends or join a team. So he invents his own sports. He climbs buildings' walls. Also, he invents wild bike tricks. Along the way, missteps get him into trouble, a juvenile delinquent. Then, this young man who's never been out of New Jersey, is abducted. And it's not even to this world. It's Sinnabar-where magic floats in the air like a choking red dust. No buildings to scale out on the Sinnabarian desert. No bikes. Abducted with Tom is a sullen Goth girl, from San Francisco, and a science prodigy, from Columbus, Ohio. They're taken for their talents, to be drained like batteries, then discarded. In a way, Tom has a family now. And for these fellow slaves-this skinny prodigy and this angry girl-he's willing to fight...to the death. Yet, can you battle magic if you have no magic? Out on Sinnabar's desert, where brigands ride lizards, and in its city's thief-infested slums, Tom means to find out. Here's one reader's reaction to Sinnabar- "I'm loving this author and can't wait to read another story-Five Stars." On Goodreads, one-hundred-percent of readers who rated this novel liked it. Here are two reader comments- "I loved this action-packed fantasy novel by Richard Wolkomir. I think teens and adults would both enjoy this story and find Tobi the talking Corgi as entertaining as I did -Five Stars." "A rollicking good read- John Carter of Mars meets Arabian Nights....Living in Wales I particularly enjoyed the Corgi Hope Richard writes further books featuring the exploits of Tom and his comrades-Four Stars."
