A great start to the Everworld series, suitable for both teens and adults. A group of four teens get drawn into an alternate reality along with a girl named Senna. Senna is nowhere to be found when they emerge on the other side, thus the "search" part. I really like this series, more than I thought I would. It combines alternate reality with world mythologies, and has a lot of action. They are very easy, fast-paced reads, and the books end on cliffhangers, so if you like the first one make sure that you have the others in reserve. You'll thank yourself later.

This is an excellent introduction to K.A. Applegate's EverWorld series. The author, who enthralled a younger audience with her popular Animorphs series, shows off her knack for world-building once again. A motley crew of high schoolers are unwittingly dragged into another world where world history and mythology come to life in dangerous detail.

Very typical boy-meets-girl, girl-falls-into-an-alternate-dimension, boy-has-to-rescue-her.

Beginning this series, one discovers an alternate world to which five human teenagers are transported. The five are individually interesting, each in his or her own way. The catalyst is Senna Wales, a young woman who has magical powers. When Fenrir, a huge wolf, captures Senna for EverWorld, the other four are pulled along into that world.

In this first book of the series we also meet David, who wants to be a hero, lead and save everyone, especially Senna. Christopher is the lighthearted member of the group. always putting a light picture on whatever is happening with his cryptic jokes, sometimes funny, sometimes not. April is Senna's stepsister, a seriious and thoughtful young woman who loves theater. Finally, we have Jalil, the thoughtful and deep young man.

The group is transported from their real lives to EverWorld in no apparent pattern. And that world is inhabited by Gods who have left Earth to create their own space. There are fanciful creatures and people of myth all of whom minggle and encounter the teenagers. So begins the adventures in EverWorld.
