Farworld, Book One: Water Keep by J. Scott Savage

Even though thirteen-year-old Marcus Kanenas is confined to a wheelchair, he sees himself as a survivor and a dreamer. In fact, his favorite dream is of a world far away, a world where magic is as common as air, where animals tell jokes, and where trees beg people to pick their fruit. He even has a name for this place Farworld. When Marcus magically travels to Farworld, he meets Kyja, a girl without magic in a world where spells, charms, and potions are everywhere, and Master Therapass, a master wizard who has kept a secret hidden for thirteen years, a secret that could change the fate of two worlds. But the Dark Circle has learned of Master Therapass's secret and their evil influence and power are growing. Farworld's only hope is for Marcus and Kyja to find the mythical Elementals (water, land, air, and fire) and convince them to open a drift between the worlds. As Kyja and Marcus travel to Water Keep, they must face the worst the evil Dark Circle can throw at them Summoners, who can command the living and the dead; Unmakers, invisible creatures that can destroy both body and soul; and dark mages known as Thrathkin S Bae. Along the way, Marcus and Kyja will discover the truth about their own heritage, the strength of their friendship, and the depths of their unique powers.

Stichley's Rating:
This is another candy novel. Even though it is an easy read it is a very enjoyable read.  I have yet to read the next book in the series, but I have purchased the second book.  The nice twist in this book is that you have two characters moving between two different worlds all while being tracked by an evil.  In one world Marcus is in unable to walk, and then the other is a world of magic where he finds himself able to move.  The story is entertaining even if some elements are similar to books that are fantasy that we have all read in the past.  The Elements are searched for through the book and this book is about searching for the water elements.
