Future Hero: Race to Fire Mountain by Remi Blackwood
Jarell has never quite known where he belongs. He’s ignored at home and teased at school for drawing instead of playing sports with the other boys. The only place he’s ever felt truly at ease is his local barbershop, where the owner hangs Jarell’s art up on the walls. When Jarell discovers a hidden portal in the shop, he’s transported to a magical world that’s unlike anything he’s seen before. But it’s not just the powerful gods and dangerous creatures that make this world different – it's that everyone believes Jarell is the hero they’ve been waiting for.
