A world no one would believe.
From the moment Lyris is treated to coffee by a beautiful stranger, she has no idea that her life is about to change forever. In her enthusiasm to start at a new school with a new boyfriend, Lyris is almost able to look past his oddities.
Almost.
The way he eyes up her striking red hair.
The way he loves that she's seventeen. "The perfect age."
And the way he's gone from all but begging to show her a specific room in a specific house to making her swear never to even think about it again.
When Lyris doesn't take his strange warnings seriously, she finds that nothing could have prepared her for what lay behind that door.
Suddenly, Lyris finds herself in a world no one would believe. A world where she's only a few inches tall and giants aren't creatures from fairy tales. Where humans are no longer the dominant race, but pets auctioned off to the highest bidder. Lyris understands the true danger of such a place, but there seems to be one person on her side.
Her kind and surprised captor.
And while Brindt appears to be sweet and trustworthy, he also straddles the line between seeing her as an equal and a cute animal.
Lyris has to get home... before the one person can turn to becomes the one person who can't let her go.

An intense, gripping novel that will keep you riveted to the end
By Stephen Cobert
To Nowhere by C. E. Wilson is an intense, riveting novel that will keep a reader captivated to the end.
At the start of the novel, seventeen-year-old Lyris is a child of privilege who has never really known want. She lives in an upscale neighborhood in a college town where both her parents are professors. One day at a coffee shop, she mets a young man who talks to her about "the Shaw place", an abandoned house next door to hers. He watns her never to go to it without him being there. Curiosity gets the better of her, and when she enters an upstairs closet she discovers it is a portal to another world... a world whose inhabitants are ten times the size of Earth people. A world where humans are treated as cute little animals, to be bought and sold as pets. Lyris is found by a kind giant who wants to keep her as his own. As she stays in this bizarre new world she learns to communicate with him and they get to see each other in a different light. But as Lyris' captor beins to care for his "pet", it becomes harder for him to want to let her return home. And worse, if she is discovered, her youth and good appearance will fetch a high price from a willing buyers...
To Nowhere is about humans going to a world of giants, but it is not just a simple "Jack and the Beanstalk" tale of wicked giants and good humans. Lyris' kind captor begins to see that "Insignificants" (as the hymans are called in his world) are civilized, intelligent beings with families and hopes and dreams. Lyris comes to see how privileged and spoiled she has been all her life, and comes to care for the teenaged boy who has taken a liking to her.
To Nowhere will keep a reader's attention through to its end. Lyris' situation seems so hopeless, with her kind kept in cages, collared and even leashed and harnessed. She keeps alive her hope of escape... but as her friendship with her captor grows, we have to wonder if he'll be able to let his new friend go.
The book presents the reader with other issues as well. The giants are not presented as evil creatures: Lyris comes to realize that even her captor's mother, wh sells these Insignificants to the highest bidder, does not see what she is doing as all that evil (even though she's a pretty nasty person). And the readers is shown that, from the giant's point of view, humans aren't all that pristine perfect either. It seems the young man who enticed Lyris into the portal has an agenda of his own that may or may not have her best interests at heart...
This reviewer gives To Nowhere an excellent rating, recommended for all readers.

My review for this book
By Annie
I have received an ebook from the author in exchange for a review; nothing on here is based on that and all opinions are my own.
BLURB (from Goodreads): A world no one would believe. From the moment Lyris is treated to coffee by a beautiful stranger, she has no idea that her life is about to change forever. In her enthusiasm to start at a new school with a new boyfriend, Lyris is almost able to look past his oddities. Almost. The way he eyes up her striking red hair. The way he loves that she’s seventeen. “The perfect age.” And the way he’s gone from all but begging to show her a specific room in a specific house to making her swear never to even think about it again. When Lyris doesn’t take his strange warnings seriously, she finds that nothing could have prepared her for what lay behind that door. Suddenly, Lyris finds herself in a world no one would believe. A world where she’s only a few inches tall and giants aren’t creatures from fairy tales. Where humans are no longer the dominant race, but pets auctioned off to the highest bidder. Lyris understands the true danger of such a place, but there seems to be one person on her. Her kind and surprised captor. And while Brindt appears to be sweet and trustworthy, he also straddles the line between seeing her as an equal and a cute animal. Lyris has to get home… before the one person can turn to becomes the one person who can’t let her go.
REVIEW: This book is something else. I was a bit wary when I read this because I wasn’t sure if I would like something with a lot of fantasy. I’m like, “Giants? Really? *Sigh* Whatever I’ll give it a try.” And I am so happy I gave this a try because I loved it so much. I totally shipped Lyris and Brindt (Lyndt? Briris?). She is a girl who just wants to go home to her family. He is a giant who just wants to have a person to talk to. I loved Brindt so much by the gentle way he would care for her. He was willing to let her go even though he really wanted her to stay. I had to admit that I really wanted Lyris to stay but I could totally agree with her by that she had to go home to her family. The genre of this book confused me a little bit (in a good way) by that with the giants world and portal doors, it’s a fantasy but the way Lyris experienced everything and her life and everything, it was like it could be a realistic fiction. But like I said before, the part with the giants and everything makes it a fantasy. I just feel like this actually could happen but it won’t. In short, this author is amazing. The way she makes me feel could be summarized like this:
Conscience: There’s no way that giants exist in real life. This is fantasy.
Eyes and Brain: Holy sheet this could happen you never know if you will find a portal filled with giants!
So the author really made me feel like this could happen. And that is something only really good authors can do. I have to say, the plot of this book is very similar to The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Like a secret door or closet that leads to a world of fantasy. So the plot is not so original but the book overall was amazing. The overall rating is 7.5/10 stars.

Quick little read with great big themes
By Pete Tarsi
If you tell most teenagers not to do something, chances are that they’re going to do it. Wyatt should have really thought it through before telling Lyris not to go into the strange room in the abandoned “haunted” house next door to where she and her parents just moved. If only she had listened…
But Wyatt originally wanted her to enter, but as he got to know her, he changed his mind, and they started dating. If only she had listened and not explored what was beyond the door…
The set-up of this review sounds like we’re entering The Twilight Zone. Rightfully so, because what Lyris finds beyond the door is another world right out of the classic 50s/60s television show. Actually, more like a different 60s sci-fi TV show: Irwin Allen’s Land of the Giants.
Lyris is soon picked up—literally—by a giant hand and examined by a giant pair of eyes (two different colors including a bright teal one—see the fantastic cover design). Then she is deposited into a cage (like a hamster) by her captor. Though giant, he’s a slightly younger teenager than she is, and his name is Brindt. In this world, humans are treated as pets, and Brindt’s mother sells the humans delivered to her to the highest bidder.
It seems Brindt wants to keep Lyris for himself, despite his mother’s demand that he not have his own pet. Teenagers do exactly what they’re parents tell them not to, even in the giant world. And right there is one of several themes deftly woven into this delicate narrative: No matter how we view one another (as monsters or insignificant), people are the same all over, no matter their size, no matter their shape (there’s a cute scene where Lyris notices Brindt’s ears are pointed instead of rounded like hers), and no matter their appearance (hair color is a significant detail in this story).
Another theme of the story is the importance of communication. The story is told from the first-person point of view of Lyris, so we know her desire to return home to parents that must be worried about her disappearance. Brindt and the giants speak another language, so his desires aren’t immediately known. The language that author C.E. Wilson invented for the giants is unique, and it was a lot of fun trying to figure out certain words as Lyris was struggling with them. Their inability to communicate leads to many misinterpretations. I won’t spoil anyone’s enjoyment of the story by mentioning any of these instances, but it was fun reading to the revelation of the correct interpretations.
And their communication is necessary if Lyris is to get home. Another theme is how trust must be built. Again, I’m as spoiler-free as I can be, but it was the trust that was earned and the character relationships that developed were genuine and organic in the story.
The stakes are built very well throughout the story because the four main characters (Lyris, Brindt, Wyatt, and Brindt’s mother) all have very clear objectives and employ a variety of tactics to achieve them. Their objectives are at odds with one another, and the situation only gets more dire for Lyris. Even the few other caged humans Lyris interacts with are well-developed characters.
This is clearly a Young Adult novel, as three of the main characters are of that age. Hmm…two boys and one girl sets up one of those love-triangles that have become commonplace in YA literature. I won’t call it a love-triangle in this story but instead a trust-triangle that is handled extremely well and enhances the enjoyment of the story and the characters.
My only little nitpicking with the story is that sometimes Lyris repeats the same thoughts and sometimes stays set in her ways when very clear evidence is presented to her. By no means, however, did this diminish my enjoyment of this unique tale.
I’ve always been a fan of Twilight Zone-type stories and stories about disparately sized people. When you throw in strong characters with strong motivations, I’m all in. FIVE GIANT STARS to To Nowhere.
