Description Toward Books Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo (Leven Thumps #1)
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 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?

best book almost! loved itI tried to like it, I did. I put off reading it because the title annoys me. Petty, I know. But, the kids got the set for Christmas from gma and gpa...so I decided to give it a try. The first chapter had me annoyed. The writing was...excessive. I don't know how else to put it. It seemed like the author simultaneously put too much thought and not enough thought onto the writing. It's full of cliches, misinformation (do some research, buddy!) and repetitive descriptions. I can't imagine what this
Oh, man. This book was pretty terrible. And I read it all the way to the end on the off-chance that it would stop being terrible, but the terribleness continued. This book has extremely poor character development, a plot that moves more awkwardly than a teenager learning to drive a stick shift, and is riddled with inconsistencies. Also, it just tried way too hard to be cool and failed utterly.So first, the characters. The main character, of course, is Leven Thumps. Everything interesting about
Reading the back and looking at the really neat cover, this book had a lot of potential, but it really fell short. The entire thing came off really forced and self-conscious, and the characters and settings seriously lacked depth, especially all of the adults and other "evil" types, who are basically caricatures with no motivation to be how they are and therefore no realism.The author seems to have no sense of where the the story is going and appears to be making it up as he goes along. The
This is very similar to the Harry Potter stories-- but not as good. My son enjoyed it and he read the 2nd book as well.I think it was fine-- I probably would have thought it to be great if I hadn't already read the Harry Potter series!
I'm really not sure how I feel about this, it felt slow and agonizing to read, every time I opened the book and read a few pages I fell asleep. Granted I was sick when I read this, it was really not very good. I know it was written for younger audiences, but I really like stuff like this usually, but with Leven Thumps I just felt so over it all. Although I must say that there were a few witty parts thanks solely to Clover, the furry sycophant. In most stories of the young overcoming harsh
Have you ever had a really great dream? Do you ever wonder where those dreams come from?They come from a place called Foo. Foo is the place that allows mankind to dream, hope and aspire. And if Foo were to collapse, than mankind would not be able to dream. Don't you think it would be just a little strange to not dream anything ever again?It's up to fourteen-year-old Leven Thumps and thirteen-year-old Winter Frore to stop the mad Sabine from finding the gateway into reality, going through it,
