This book is about a 13 year old boy named Gabe, who has TLE. His parents are overprotective, he doesn't have any friends, doesn't get along with his brother, and to top it off his family just moved. He finds that sketching takes him away from his troubled reality, but starts to find that the sketches become the reality. He makes friends with a new neighbor who shows him a special place in the woods, and that's where the magic really begins. It then begins a race for time to save things in the world of his sketches and for some things in his present world. Though out the adventure, Gabe becomes more aware of who his is and starts to figure out where he belongs. This is a really good story about friendship and overcoming those situations in junior high I think we are all aware of! I enjoyed the story, but found I enjoyed Gabe's present world story more. I didn't realize this was a two part story, so was a little surprised at the cliff hanger ending, but realized about 95% of the way through the story there was no way it was going to wrap up in 5%. I do think this is a book for older teenagers and adults alike. I received a free copy of this book for my review.
