This book is easily one of the top 3 of my favorite childhood books. An ordinary child finds himself drawn into an exciting adventure in a fantastic world. How the boy learns to appreciate what he has at home is the theme of the story. I love the humorous, suspenseful and smart tone of this utterly original tale. The word play alone is worth the read. More children's literature should appeal to kids' intelligence, like this book.
