great series i highly recommend them. book length varies, nothing under 400 and nothing above 800.
im not good at summarizing and explaining so excuse my copypasta from wiki
n the first book of the series, The Merchant of Death, Bobby Pendragon is leading a normal life in Stony Brook, Connecticut, where he is the star of Stony Brook Middle School's basketball team. When he is fourteen, his uncle, Press Tilton, takes him to an abandoned train station where he and Bobby travel through a portal through space and time called a flume. Bobby soon finds himself in a different territory — possibly a different version of history or a different world entirely — Denduron — where two important tribes are on the brink of a civil war because one tribe is forcing the other to work in mines. There Bobby discovers he was chosen to be a Traveler, a warrior of the universe to defeat Saint Dane, an evil villain who wishes to tip all of Halla (used to signify the entirety of everything that exists, has existed, or will exist, including persons, time, and space) into chaos so he can remake it according to his desire. To save it, Bobby must rescue ten territories from destruction (although at this point in the series it is unknown to Bobby how many territories there are in the first place).
Each territory has its own "turning point", which is a critical point in a territory's history in which the people must make an important decision. Saint Dane is trying to manipulate the people into making poor decisions, which would create chaos, while the Travelers are trying to help people make the right decision, which would create peace.
really good series.
