On Hoops way home from school one day a strange kid gives him a old pocket type watch and a note and tells him he can't open either until he gets home. Once home the note is some weird message and the watch won't set to the correct time but once he tries a time in the note he finds himself in a strange world and now he must figure out how to get home before he is killed. But he is also intrigued by the watch and decides to keep exploring, but what does this all mean?
This is a fascinating book that will have you on the edge of your seat rooting for Hoop and also, despite all the action, trying to figure out what this all means for Hoop as well. Even though most of the characters in this book are boys trust me girls will like this book as well especially once they get to the end. Even though this is a middle grade book people of all ages will be drawn to this wonderful story-line, even those reluctant readers out there will enjoy this awesome book. If you are lucky enough to get the audio version narrated by Kevin Rineer you are in for quite a treat as he, with his wonderful voice, transforms you and your world to that of Hoops and you seem to be right there with Hoop helping him at every turn. Which ever version you pick I think you will enjoy the book and I can't wait till I can get more.
