Bookroo's summary

Griffin's quiet life on the Oregon coast shatters when strangers reveal his lighthouse hides a portal to other worlds. His father is pulled into one, leaving Griffin alone with cryptic notes and no answers. As a secret society remains silent, Griffin must brave unknown realms to rescue his dad and thwart a looming threat to humanity. Can he unravel the mysteries and save his father before it's too late?

From the publisher

Griffin must traverse dangerous new worlds if he hopes to save his father from a peril that threatens all of humanity in this fantastical new novel from the acclaimed author of A Nearer Moon. Griffin and his father tend to their lighthouse on the craggy coast of Oregon with the same careful routine each day. There are hardly ever any visitors, but they like it that way. Which is why, when a group of oddly dressed strangers suddenly appears, Griffin begins to see just how many secrets his father has been keeping. He never imagined that his lighthouse contains a portal to strange and dangerous worlds, or that a Society of Lighthouse Keepers exists to protect the Earth from a fearsome enemy invasion. But then Griffin’s dad is pulled through the lens of the lighthouse into one of those other worlds. With his father gone, nobody from the Society is giving Griffin any answers, so he’s on his own. Armed only with a book of mysterious notes from his parents, Griffin is determined to find his dad, no matter what dangers lurk on the other side of the portal.
