Summary:

Leven Thumps is a fourteen year old orphan living in a trailer home with his aunt and uncle, who don’t really want him around but feel obligated.  Unknown to Leven, he lives near a gateway to a magical world called Foo. Foo is threatened by the malevolent Sabine, who, if victorious, will destroy not only Foo, but our world as well.

By Fate, Leven meets three messengers from Foo, who tell Leven about Food, and explain that Leven alone has power to save it from the forces of Sabine.

This is the first of a series of books describing Leven’s efforts to save Foo.

Mrs. Sneakyreader’s Opinion:

Leven Thumps is very well written.  The characters are complex and convincing.  The story is complex but understandable.  A joy to read.

Potentially Offensive Content:

None- this book is family friendly and intended for ages 9 and up.
