This is one of those books I try to re-read every year, it has been one of my favourites for so long. Rachel and Eric are dragged through to a magic land, ruled by a witch called Dragwena with three jaws, and insects that live in them. the siblings have to discover their own powers in order to save themselves and the servants of the witch.

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0803727100, Hardcover)

Rachel has been having disturbing dreams at night that feel too real. Then her brother, Eric, has the very same dream-about a dark mysterious woman with a live snake for a necklace. Then, on a quiet afternoon, Rachel and Eric are ripped through a wall of their house and transported to a cold and dangerous other world. It is ruled by Dragwena, a witch.

Rachel discovers that she has special powers-but is she the chosen one, destined to save the children who have been enslaved by Dragwena? Meanwhile Dragwena is eager to use Rachel for her own evil purposes, but there are surprises ahead . . . including an amazing magical power that only young Eric seems to possess.
