Portals — Ryan Jakubsen

Four young brothers are swept into the adventure of their lives when a tornado strikes their North Carolina home, separating them and sending each in different directions to strange new lands reached only through portals. When they finally reunite, they face several species of fearsome manimals, half-man, half- animal creatures, some peace loving, others cruel and heartless. One brother becomes a king; one is captured by the enemy. The remaining brothers must join forces to outwit the fierce lion manimals, rescue their kidnapped brother and regain control of all the portals if they ever hope to get back home!
