Description: Sunderworld, Vol. I: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry by Ransom Riggs After years of grief-fueled visions of creatures from his favorite television show, seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry discovers that magic is real, and he might be the chosen one after all. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The instant New York Times bestseller from visionary storyteller Ransom Riggs! Weaving the familiar with the peculiar, this stunning tale of loss, triumph, friendship and magic, will remind readers everywhere that true heroes are made, not born—and when youre never the chosen one, sometimes you have to choose yourself.Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles. A man who pops a tooth into a parking meter. A glowing trapdoor in a parking lot. A half-mechanical raccoon with its tail on fire that just wont leave him alone. Every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Maxs Adventures in Sunderworld—and thats because they are. Not a good sign.In the blurry weeks after his mothers death, a young Leopold discovered VHS tapes of its one and only season in a box headed for the trash—and soon became obsessed. Losing himself in Sunder was the best way to avoid two things: grieving his mother and being a chronic disappointment to his overbearing father. But when the strange visions return—at the worst possible time on the worst possible day—Leopold turns to his best friend Emmet for help. Together they discover that Sunder is much more than just an old TV show, and that Los Angeles is far stranger than they ever imagined. And soon, hell realize that not only is Sunderworld real, but its in grave danger.Certain hes finally been chosen for greatness, Leopold risks everything to claim his destiny, save the world of his childhood dreams, and prove once and for all that hes not the disappointment his father believes him to be. But when everything goes terribly, horribly, excruciatingly wrong, Leopolds disappointments prove to be more extraordinary than he ever could have imagined.How do you battle darkness when no one believes in you—not even yourself?Welcome to Sunderworld.
