Fun portal fantasy for kids!

Good read for middle graders with magic and fantasy creatures in another world accessible from the characters' school. A trio of social misfits and the two boys who bully them end up captured by orcs and must band together to escape mortal peril. There's plenty of humor, warm-hearted friendship, acts of courage, and interesting twists that kept me reading. The talking wolf was my favorite. And there's a DRAGON which is always a plus. Definitely reading the sequel and beyond.
