I would never have bought this book.This is one thing I like about my Kindle, I have read many books since getting it for Christmas a couple years ago that I would never have picked up in the book store.Even though I'm really not sure this series is for me, it has a good story line and I am tempted to read the second one, just because I have to find out what happens to Gabe/Mabon! This puts me in mind of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, which I read many, many years ago, and did enjoy.The boy, Gabe, is pretty sure he's a freak, just as his brother says. Especially since he started having seizures which include going to the world where the character from his own fantasy writings exists! He finds an unlooked for ally, a few anticipated enemies, and a old, dead Welch witch that wants something from him. He must save the trees, or Thisworld will fall.As I said, interesting story with fairly well developed characters. I would love to hear more about the Welch witch.... suppose I'll be buying that second book after all.I received a copy of this book free in exchange for this review.
