chicklet to chick lit

This fascinating and imaginative series is for middle school and high school students. It is an unusual story of a boy's coming of age. Leven Thumps is an orphan teen from Oklahoma with a powerful talent: he can glimpse and change the future. In the fantastical world of Foo, he meets many incredible beings: Geth, a lithen and displaced king of Foo; Sabine, the evil usurper ruler of Foo; Winter, a teen girl who can freeze things and people; and Clover, Lev's companion and comic relief. Kids and adults alike will enjoy this creative tale of good and evil.
Book One is the Gateway to Foo - an introduction to all the twists, turns, puns, irony and allegory. Book Two, Whispered Secret, delves more deeply into the plot to destroy Foo and allows the reader in immerse themselves into the eccentricities of Foo and its citizens. Book Three, Eyes of the Want, bogs down a bit into too many plot twists and details, but still gives one a thrill. I eagerly await the release of Book Four, Wrath of Ezra.
