Passage To Avalon

Thirteen-year-old Sam Baggend is the only person in Avalon who can't use magic. He's also the only person in Avalon with a bag of high-tech spy gear, a solar-powered cell phone with intermittent signal back to earth, and a murderous wizard-Emperor on his tail...so he's got a lot going for him.There he was, minding his own business, using a drone to drop an egg on his vice-principal's head, when the ground starts to shake. Sam collapses during the quake only to wake up in Avalon, a parallel world to his own, where the magical power of aether flows through and is used by all living creatures, except for Sam.Sam is so aether-repelent, in fact, that he destroys the stuff on contact, which is something of a major concern for the tyrannical Emperor of Avalon who has spent his entire reign amassing more aether than all his subjects combined. Sam's only hope of returning home lies with meeting the Emperor head on and draining the tyrant of his power. To do that, Sam will have to unite the people of Avalon and use his whole bag of technological tricks...and post about it on YouTube and Facebook. Oh, and not get killed. That's important too.
