Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo
Title: Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo
Author: Obert Skye
Pages: 368
Genre: Fantasy
Grade: B-
Synopsis: Leven Thumps is a fourteen-year-old boy living a dismal life in Burnt Culvert, Oklahoma. Nothing ever seems to go right for Leven, that is until he meets his little sidekick Clover, a friend Winter, and Geth, who is a toothpick for most of the book.
My Review: This book was a little too strange for my liking. The story was ok, and it was enjoyable, but I always felt like things were too contrived and that they author was trying too hard to come up with a fantastical story. There was too much of the ridiculous in this one.
