Jeff Madison and the Shimmers of Drakmere

Bernice Fischer’s engrossing fantasy book “Jeff Madison and the Shimmers of Drakmere,” tells a story of sinister magic, enigmatic countries, and familial ties. Imagine a universe in which a cunning ruler uses one very specific boy as his pawn to implant terrifying nightmares into children’s dreams.

After his brother Matt is kidnapped and taken to the kingdom of Drakmere, Jeff must decide whether to follow the enigmatic strangers wearing cloaks into danger and follow them through the Moonglow portal, or else he runs the chance of never seeing his brother alive.
