Synopsis:

Felix is spending his last summer in Costa Rica—the tropical isthmus where continents meet and oceans\ part. It's here, at this unique global crossroads, that Felix tumbles through the Divide into an alternate dimension where mythical beasts are real. To find his way back home, Felix will need the help of his
new friends Betony, an elfin girl, and Ironclaw, an
eagle-eyed, owl-eared, lion-pawed brazzle. Just
maybe, with a little magic, they can also help Felix
find a cure for his diseased heart….
