Pendragon Book One: The Merchant of Death and Book Two: The Lost City of Faar by D.J. MacHale

3.0

A fun series of books begins with this volume: Bobby Pendragon learns he is a Traveler, one of an elite corps of people who "flume" (travel via wormhole) to alternate reality territories to help the local people in times of crisis. Once Bobby becomes a Traveler, his family disappears--and he doesn't know if he'll ever see them again. He writes home to his friends via journals that he sends back in a cool sci-fi way, so you get to hear his story in his own words and also see the reactions of his best friends. Very much a cliffhanger.
