This book is outrageously imaginative and wildly wonderful! I hope that this is only the first book about the adventures of orphan Simon Jones and his great uncle, Tiberius Bogg. Tiberius is a frontiersman who is rather like Paul Bunyan on steroids, while bookish Simon's determination is endearing. The tale is a timeless one of good over evil. The duo encounters every folkloric creature imaginable on their quest. This book will appeal to everyone between middle school aged youth and death who wants to treat themselves to a few hours of exciting pleasure. Don't be surprised if this book gets made into a movie. My only criticism has to do with the title - "New World." I think that it is far too bland and nondescriptive for this book.
