The Cocoon Within by Liisa Sabah
Since finding the book in the attic, strange things have happened to seventeen-year-old Ariana. She dare not tell her beloved grandfather, ‘Granpey,’ for fear of making him worry. After all, he is more like a father to her, having raised her single-handedly after her parents died in a car crash when she was just a few years old.
Ariana can only tell her best friend and confidant, Jack. Though surprisingly, romantic sparks are beginning to emerge in their friendship, but Ariana can’t be sure, as Jack has always had a schoolboy crush on the stunningly beautiful Jessica.
As Ariana grapples with strange visions and appearances, one thing becomes apparent: she isn’t the only one who sees them. Finding the book has triggered events which lead Jack, Ariana, and her unlikely new-found friend, Jessica, through a portal into a new and magnificent world, where her arch enemy, the all-powerful Destroyer thwarts her every move. Ariana’s little rescue dog, Leo, is a Godsend, and she can’t help but believe that his arrival is no coincidence. But what is in store for Ariana, Jack, and Jessica as they launch into an adventure with a seemingly impossible goal? Will Ariana discover her true identity and prevent the forces of evil from changing the world forever, or will the powerful Destroyer triumph over this brave but vulnerable young woman and her friends? Finding the book has triggered events that lead Jack, Ariana, and her unlikely new-found friend, Jessica, through a portal into a new and magnificent world, where her arch enemy, the all-powerful Destroyer, thwarts her every move.
