He’s descended from a long line of Magical Girls tasked with defending humanity from a dark, ancient evil! With the help of a sassy feline sidekick and loyal gang of friends, Max must take on his destiny, save the world and become the next Magical Boy. Filled with humor and heart, this fantasy series will appear to comic readers of all ages.

5 Worlds Volume 5 The Emerald Gate GN – Random House Books for Young Readers brings this series to an epic conclusion. Oona, Jax and An Tzu travel to the treacherous world of Grimbo (E), the location of the last beacon. Oona is given a clue to the green beacon’s location when Jax saves an old friend. They embark on their most dangerous journey yet on this strange watery world. But Stan Moon has one more trick up his sleeve as his frightening powers and mysterious connection to An Tzu continue to grow. As the final battle looms, Oona continues to count on her friends, but a terrible betrayal would mean the 5 Worlds would be lost to evil forever. Fans of this highly acclaimed fantasy sci-fi series will not want to miss this final installment.
