This sits on the same bookshelf as a Harry Potter book. And that is why I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A normal, intelligent boy, Jeff, leading a normal life, suddenly finds himself in another dimension; the author is superb at describing the fantastical elements of this dimension, and I had no trouble at all imagining the strange effects, creatures, and, well, just about everything of this strange land. The reader always has a firm foot on the ground, because, as Jeff is not one of the fantasy characters, he regularly compares features of the world in which he finds himself with planet earth – and that’s why I liked the book – it didn’t overreach my sci-fi boundaries of credibility.
The book ends with some unanswered questions, so I am hoping this means a sequel…I would, without a shadow of a doubt, snap it up in a jiff.
