Leopold sees
weird things like monsters, and, like a whole different world; he was even sent to a
psychiatrist for these hallucinations because they all seem to be from a TV
show he watched as a child. When his mother dies, he finds some old VHS tapes
his dad has put out in the garbage.
These tapes are the only thing left of that show, and he watches them a
lot. So much so that the hallucinations
have come back. I mean, really, who would believe someone about a mechanical raccoon
with his tail on fire, but that is what he sees, and at the worst time. He knows he needs to follow the raccoon and
enlists his best/only friend, Emmet, to help.
When they ride an old, broken trolley into the world they tried to
recreate the Sunderworld they knew and made movies of as kids, Leopold will face
the toughest test yet, but he is sure he is ready; he thinks it is his
destiny.
This was a
wonderful, refreshing, and exciting book.
Leopold and Emmet are wonderful characters; they play their parts
perfectly. This book brings a lot of
mystery and magic to the story. I love
how his mom left a trail for him to find that would lead him to everything he
needs to bring his dreams or nightmares to life. This is a wonderful book; it was a joy to
read.
