The Gateway

by Obert Skye

Aladdin | July 11, 2006 | Trade Paperback

WELCOME TO FOO.

Fourteen-year-old Leven Thumps (a.k.a. "Lev") lives a wretched life in Burnt Culvert, Oklahoma. But his life is about to change and his destiny be fulfilled as he learns about a secret gateway that bridges two worlds -- the real world and Foo, a place created at the at the beginning of time in the folds of the mind that makes it possible for mankind to dream and hope, aspire and imagine. But Foo is in chaos, and three transplants from that dreamworld have been sent to retrieve Lev, who alone has the power to save Foo.

Enter Clover, a wisecracking, foot-high sidekick; Winter, a girl with a special power of her own; and Geth, the rightful heir to Foo. Their mission: to convince Lev that he has the power to save Foo. Can this unique band of travelers help Lev overcome his doubt? Will Lev find the gateway in time? Or will Sabine and his dark shadows find the gateway first and destroy mankind?

    Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo by Obert Skye is a
    spectacular book filled with magic and suspense. I would recommend this book for teens aged 13-16. This story
    takes place in a trailer park in Oklahoma and the surrounding
    area. In this fantasy book, Leven will search for a purpose in life and face many trials with his friends Winter, Clover, and the
    king of Foo, Geth, at his side. Battling avalons, giant earth
    snakes, and evil shadows, can Leven successfully travel
    halfway around the world and save the hopes and dreams of
    man-kind from the evil nit, Sabine?

    The adventures of Leven Thumps and his group of friends is a wonderful work of fantasy from first time author Obert Skye. This book has it all; magic, adventure, humour and even fate. Fate brought Leven, Winter and Geth (who is king in Foo but only a toothpick in our world) together to ensure that the evil Sabine doesn't succeed in his attempt to control Foo and our world. The question is will fate be able to guide Leven and his friends to the gateway and stop Sabine? This is the first book in a new series that will appeal to Harry Potter fans and those who decide thorugh fate.
