You can't imagine how sad I feel: here I am at the 99th book...and it was a good one!Leven is a kid living a really rough life in Burnt Culvert, Oklahoma. He gets picked on at school and forced to do all the work at home (where he lives with his terrible aunt and uncle). However, we learn early on that Leven has some pretty fantastic gifts - like the ability to see the future and even change it for the better.
Lev is soon found by Winter, a girl with some pretty special abilities of her own, Clover, a cool little sycophant, and finally by Geth, who had been a great king but has been reduced to a little toothpick. Together they need to avoid Sabine and the dark shadows and travel across the world to find, and ultimately to destroy, the gateway to Foo.
This fantasy will grab you right away and keep you laughing! They new-found friends have some great adventures together. Geth continually reminds them all that everything depends upon fate, and together they help Leven overcome his feelings of doubt and realize that he has the power to save humanity.
Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo is the first in the series of five books. I know I can't wait to read the next one! Special thanks to Jacob for recommending this series to me: I know you will love it as well!
