Lost Playground

Start over and burn the world.

Fifteen-year-old Brinn Addam can bring make-believe characters to life. It was a power once possessed by her uncle, Neal Stauch. The little boy died more than three decades earlier, but the world he created carried on. It's a dying land populated with troubled characters desperately searching for a new creator-a modern-day keeper with the same incredible genes to start their world over again.

A rag-tag bunch of Neal's washed up heroes reunite to set things right. Brinn sets out to help, aided by her own band of imaginary twenty-first-century friends.

But Neal's imaginary world is populated with other survivors. They've changed even more drastically, and they want what the little boy had-what his present-day niece still has-and they'll kill to get it.

Lost Playground is Book 3 of the Out of Time series,
