Descripción editorial
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of How to Train Your Dragon and Wizards of Once comes an out-of-this-world adventure where magic and reality collide!
K2 O’Hero is a seemingly ordinary boy—after all, he and his twin sister, Izzabird, have been sworn to keep their family's Magical history a secret. Not even their infuriating stepsiblings, Theo and Mabel, know that Magic exists. They believe K2 to be the most hopeless person they have ever known.
But K2 has a secret gift: He draws maps of worlds that are beyond the wildest imaginations. Worlds with six hundred moons, burning rivers, and dark, twisty jungles alive with plants that hunt by the smell of fear. But what K2 doesn’t know is that the maps he draws are real.
When their baby sister, Annipeck, is kidnapped, the warring stepsiblings will have to use K2’s gift to find a crossing point into one of those worlds and embark on a daring rescue mission.
Perfect for reluctant readers, the Which Way to Anywhere features an easy-to-read, dyslexic-friendly font!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Twelve-year-old twins K2 and Izzabird O'Hero know they come from a long line of magical explorers, and the mundane lineage of their new stepsiblings—12-year-old Theo and eight-year-old Mabel Smith—leads to friction between the sibling groups. Unknown to K2, who spends his time sketching maps of extraordinary alternate dimensions, he possesses the Atlas Gift, an ability that lets him create portals to other worlds through his mapmaking. One day, the family is visited by sinister professor Cyril Sidewinder, who's seeking the wielder of the Atlas Gift in order to create "a collection of maps of imaginary and real places" called An Alternative Atlas. His arrival kicks off a series of incidents culminating in an interstellar adventure involving relentless robot assassins, a snarky extradimensional bounty hunter, and the mysterious fate of K2 and Izzabird's long-missing father. The siblings' banter, and their sweetly budding friendships, anchor the madcap happenings. Told through an idiosyncratic omniscient narrator called the Story Maker, this boisterous series launch by Cowell (the Wizards of Once series)—accompanied by sketchy, highly stylized b&w art—proves chaotically fun. Cover art portrays the O'Heroes with pale skin and the Smiths with brown skin. Ages 8–12.
