In the first Everworld book, we meet the main characters: David, Christopher, April, and Jalil. They are swooped into the deadly Universe called Everworld when they all inexplicably meet at the lake. They have little in common, except for one detail: Senna. Beautiful, mysterious, and dangerous - she is what the God Loki is after. She is his witch, and probably more.

We meet Vikings, an Aztec God, a bus-sized Wolf, and the slightly manic God Loki. We see our beloved characters (who everyone can really relate to) escape certain death, fool a troop of trolls, fall 500 feet in slow motion, realize they aren't as far gone as they thought, and come to the realization that their only chance of survival is to stick together - all in vivid detail scripted by K.A. Applegate. Doesn't all fit together in the real world, you say? This isn't the real world. This is Everworld.

I read this series when I was probably 14 or 15, and really loved it. It's a series that inspired me to read, write, and day-dream about lost worlds. For a while, I forgot about it, until one night a few weeks ago I was sitting in bed reading The Iron King, when for some reason this book popped in my head. The word *epic adventure* rang there for a second. I went ahead and ordered the entire series on eBay, and am now re-reading.
