Description:

Joey Harker is a Leader.

With InterWorld trapped by HEX and his only other companion—the mysterious Time Agent Acacia Jones—missing in action, Joey's the only one left. Though injured and alone, he refuses to give up. How can he, when all the worlds are depending on him?

As the threat of FrostNight looms ever closer, Joey seeks out more of his fellow Walkers across the Altiverse, training them as fast as he can and trying to track down InterWorld Base Town along the way. But even a solid team of recruits—including Acacia's brother, Avery, who's not a recruit so much as a tenuous ally—can't prepare Joey for the ultimate showdown with InterWorld's enemies, old and new.

Joey never wanted to be in charge. But he's the one everyone is looking to now, and he'll have to step up if he has any hope of saving InterWorld, the Multiverse, and everything in between.

Eternity's Wheel is the heart-pounding conclusion to the InterWorld series, full of time and space travel, magic, science, and the bravery of a young boy who must now face his destiny as a young man.

From School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up—This terrific sci-fi novel that combines an action-packed plot with thought-provoking themes immediately follows the events of The Silver Dream (HarperCollins, 2013). Lord Dogknife has left Joey Harker on his home Earth, broken, defeated, and alone. Joey's ally, the Time Agent Acacia, is lost in time, and the rest of the Walkers of InterWorld (freedom fighters) are scattered or pursued by Lord Dogknife and other magical beings. Hex and the techs of Binary have laid aside their age-old enmity to create and launch FrostNight, a terrible weapon that is designed to eradicate all planes of the Multiverse. Before their defeat, Joey and Acacia managed to interfere with FrostNight but to what effect is unknown. With the help of his curious companion, the multidimensional lifeform Hue, Joey must set about gathering a new corps of Walkers to form the nucleus of a new InterWorld in order to stop FrostNight, Lord Dogknife, and Binary's Professor from upsetting the multiple Earth's science-magic balance. The authors have created an indomitable hero in Joey, a young man willing to fight beyond hope to save not only his home, but all of multifaceted existence as well. The trio's writing is full of deep emotion, exciting action, and lush description. They've also given readers an interesting portrait of diversity in that all Walkers, whether they be male or female, centaur, or wolfling, are all versions of Joey from various Earths. VERDICT Gaiman, Reaves, and Reaves offer up a triumphant conclusion to the "Interworld" trilogy with this dynamic story.—Eric Norton, McMillan Memorial Library, Wisconsin Rapids, WI
