Bobby Pendragon is a fictional character created by D. J. MacHale. He is a traveler which means he has the ability to travel between the ten territories of Halla. Halla is basically everything. Each territory (or world) is unique in its own way. One is completely covered in water, another is a desert. One is a future Earth. One is its past. There is a traveler from each one and togethor they fight to stop a traveler gone bad, Saint Dane.
