by Mike Nettleton, Carolyn J. Rose

Overview

THE RHYTHM OF UNDERGROUND EVIL THREATENS TO UNLEASH HAVOC ON THE WORLD ABOVE THE SURFACE!!!

After running away from home, sixteen-year-old Noah Keene and his thirteen-year-old sister are swept into the turmoil of a universe they never imagined--inside Humbug Mountain on the Oregon Coast.

Noah and Abby are key figures in an ancient prophecy that will pit them against Spid, a powerful and obnoxious troll who plots to unleash his underground forces against humankind. Their allies include an armless jazz drummer turned wizard, a cocky warrior girl from the mushroom forest and a shape-shifting hermit.

Noah, a prodigy on the drums must use his skill to solidify a membrane that prevents Spid's minions from terrorizing the world. Abby, a brainy budding scientist must overcome her natural skepticism to fulfill her destiny. Deep in the musty caverns she discovers her spiritual power and uses it to recruit the phantasmagoric Darksuckers in the battle against the troll's nightmarish army.

Two ordinary teenagers, recruited to fight an epic battle against enormous odds, with the fate of the world on the line. What could possibly go wrong? Read The Drum Warrior and find out.
