Twelve-year-old Joshua Cooper learns the hard way that lightning never strikes by chance when a bolt strikes his house and whisks away his best friend-possibly forever.
Armed with only luck and his grandfather's mysterious crystal, Joshua must save his friend by traveling the Lightning Road to a dark world that steals children for energy.
New friends come to Joshua's aid and while battling beasts and bandits and fending off the Child Collector, Joshua's mission quickly becomes more than a search for his friend-it becomes the battle of his life.
