Books with author Cheryl Carvajal

Thomas Forester is not an ordinary teenager, but his extraordinary gifts are a secret. When his uncle Ian—a man Thomas has never laid eyes on before—kidnaps him, Thomas realizes Ian knows all his secrets—secrets Thomas must discover for himself. Thomas falls into a supernatural adventure beyond imagination. Under the watchful eyes of Ian, Thomas starts school, and soon suspicious omens, telekinetic voices, and kamikaze spiders lead him into a deep, dark rainforest protected by a local native tribe. The place holds an even deeper secret: a ghost portal meant to help spirits of the dead to pass from our world into the next. The only problem is that the portal has been broken, and none of the ghosts can move on. Can Thomas repair the damage—and save these lost souls—or will the creature that lurks inside the portal drag Thomas in, imprisoning his soul forever?
