2. Luka Kalifa Main Character of the book.
He has a lot of connections with his father Rashid Kalifa.
Likes to play games with him such as riddles.

3. Setting of the book
The setting was in a fantasy world. The time period was a long time ago. It all takes place in the city of Kahani, in the land of Alifbay.

4. Plot
Luka’s father goes into a deep sleep that nobody can wake him from.
Finds out he has magical powers and he enters the magic world to save his father.
He finds out that there are levels he has to pass though and he only has so many lives.
He ends up having/finding friends that help him get through his adventure and back to his father quickly.
He ends up taking the Fire of life back to his dad and saves him.

5. Moral
“In the real world there is no levels, only difficulties.” - Luka’s mother (Soraya Kalifa).
(In the real world you can’t go through levels of a game to save someone, you require medication or risking yourself in order to save them. These are difficulties not levels.)

6. Favorite part
My favorite part in the book is when Luka and the Old Man of the River had a Riddle battle and then Luka beat the Old Man. The valuable message of the book is don’t give up no matter how hard it may seem.
