ABOUT THE BOOK
In Worlds Divided – World Two: The Volcano, heroes Oliver and Ethan are drawn into a treacherous volcanic realm unlike anything they have faced before. Guided by Lyra, a magical Pickanee, the boys must navigate a labyrinth of hidden tunnels, unravel ancient secrets, and confront powerful enemies at every turn.
At the heart of their mission lies a desperate race against time: rescue a young girl named Gemma and break the curse that has cast an entire village into shadow. As Oliver and Ethan battle their own fears and push the limits of their courage, they come to understand that true strength is not found in power or magic it is found within.
Packed with adventure, fantasy, friendship, and powerful life lessons, this instalment in the Worlds Divided series delivers an exciting, emotionally resonant tale that encourages readers of all ages to face their fears, believe in themselves, and choose courage when it matters most.

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
The Worlds Divided series was born from an unforgettable conversation between Kim and her young son, JJ, during a flight to New Zealand. At just six years old, JJ’s boundless imagination sparked the idea for a story filled with adventure, mystery, magic, and unforgettable characters, one that the two began crafting together.
Inspired by New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes, its towering mountains, volcanic regions, rugged coastlines, and the small rural town of Middlemarch where Kim spent treasured childhood holidays, the series draws deeply from real places and cherished family memories. What began as a mother-and-son dream grew into a full fantasy series woven with themes of courage, friendship, resilience, and believing in yourself.
