Clever. It's sort of like what The Phantom Tollbooth would have been like if Clive Barker had written it. It also has shades of the Cat's Eye Corner series. This is all good praise, but I can't help but feel that the book could have been a lot better.

An irristable cross between Alice in Wonderland and So You Want to be a Wizard. I couldn't put it down but didn't want it to end! Absolutely loved it. Inventive and perfect, the story catches you up and the world keeps you entranced. It strikes me as a cross between...more
