Books with title PORTAL

Ever since his father’s disappearance, teenaged Darius has made a living for himself as a small-time con artist, cheating tourists out of their money on the hot streets of Memphis. When a mysterious woman starts following him, he thinks the police are finally on to him—but the truth is far stranger than that. Darius has been recruited by Project Oberon, a top-secret government organization dedicated to preventing disasters—before they occur. Oberon has created a portal that allows people to go back in time, to exactly twenty-four hours earlier. Then disaster strikes New York City, and Darius and his team of special ops teenagers are in the Portal, heading back with just one day to prevent the unthinkable. But it soon becomes clear that this villain is unlike any they’ve ever faced before—and knows far too much about Project Oberon. Can Darius and the team save the world before their twenty-four hours are up, or will they be lost in time forever?ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Meredith Stroud lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with her partner/accomplice. She graduated with an English degree from the University of Tennessee in 2010, where she was published in the Sequoyah Review. She spends most of her free time whipping up biscuits for hipsters, helping her friends pretend to be elves, and raising a little girl who insists she is actually a car.

After suffering the tragic loss of his mother, twelve-year-old Benjamin Simmons finds himself saddled with worries—and responsibilities. His father seems to erupt in anger more and more often at the slightest provocation when he isn’t watching TV drunk or sleeping. Brianna, Ben’s eight-year-old sister, is afraid of their father, desperately misses their mother, and looks to Ben for both protection and emotional support. One afternoon, as Ben walks his usual route home along the edge of a vast wilderness called the Preserve, he discovers a strange rift in the air. He reaches out to touch it and watches in amazement as his arm is swallowed up. When he pulls his arm out, he finds it whole and unscathed. With the help of his friends, Mahmoud and Remy, Ben sets off to discover what exactly is this hole in the woods. However, just as the three of them discover the rift is far more dangerous than they ever expected, Ben is confronted with another crisis, one will threaten everything and everyone he cares about. Portals is a tense and touching adventure that will have readers breathlessly turning pages through to the final, dramatic conclusion.
