Drifters Realm had everything I enjoy reading in a fantasy book: rich description, some gorgeous coloured illustrations, relatable characters and a whole lot of questions which are yet to be resolved. Life seems idyllic until various children start to go missing without a trace. Roe, Ori and their older brother Theo along with Seth and a group of others set out to discover the truth of events for themselves. Who has been giving them accurate information? Who are the Menace? Will their obligation skills and backpacks be enough to protect themselves and those they care about?
I will be keeping my eyes peeled for book 2!

This is definitely an action packed middle grade story. Everyone in the Drifters Realm are assigned special roles and powers. You get introduced to Roe and Theo and find out that their parents and brother mysteriously disappear.

A chain of events is set off when Roe nearly gets hurt by a Guardian. This leads to Roe and Theo with reuniting with their brother Ori and getting involved in a revolt to overthrow the rule of the First City. I would read this book to my child.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is the story of a tri0 Theo, Ori & Roe. They try to find the truth to their parents sudden absence. They fight with the first city leader Quinlan and his daugter Tora who has powers to call upon storm. Quinlan is the person who make people live away from their children. He snatched forcebly their off-springs and runs a system where they try to change their DNA to prepare their own kind of army.
Twin Roe & Ori who depicted as the saviour went on the perilous journey through Jungle, desert, swamps and caves to find what happened to their father and to omit out the threat posed by Menace to let them live peacefully. With the help of the magical backpack, transformation of Theo into lion and Roe's following a glowing ring to a magical blue pool to get her father's powers to help fighting her against the Menace, they resolved the trouble of every person with them. Also, they have their friends and gathered team to work on same objective, to stop Menace to make their peaceful life extinct.
