She ran away to her imaginary world. Now she can’t get out.

Since childhood, Megan Bradshaw has dreamed of Vindor, her own secret world of mermaids, centaurs, samurai, and more. When real-world pressures make life unbearable, Megan wishes she could escape to Vindor for real.

Then she does. Megan finds herself trapped in Vindor, with flesh-and-blood versions of her imaginary characters. But her world has grown dangerous. The Shadow—a terrifying creature she didn’t invent—is tearing Vindor apart, and now it’s coming for her.

Megan embarks on a desperate journey, accompanied by a know-it-all centaur and a goblin she’s not sure she can trust. Will the Shadow destroy her before she can find a way to save her world?

Book 1 of the World of Vindor series.

Review of Escape to Vindor

· December 2019

What happens when your imagination gets away from you—literally? In Emily Golus’s Escape to Vindor, Megan Bradshaw, ordinary middle-school girl, finds herself on an extraordinary adventure to the fantasy land of Vindor she created in her daydreams. But this Vindor isn’t quite the same as the place she’d thought up. Colors are richer, people are a bit different, and details abound that she’d never imagined at all. Soon she realizes she’s no longer author of events or outcomes. Which is unfortunate, because there’s a nightmare shadow destroying Vindor, and everyone agrees Megan is the one to conquer it. But how? She’s just an ordinary, anxious kid. This uplifting story rumbles along at a good pace, accessible to Christian readers and nonbelievers alike.

Best for: Middle-grade fans of fantasy.
