This is a wonderful story for younger teens and almost teens, especially for those who are into fantasy. The author does a good job of integrating his characters into a few scenes from the classics "Peter Pan" and "The Wizard of Oz."Hobbs' characters include a mysterious librarian, two young good guys, and a father-son tag team of bullies plus an evil henchman the dad brings along. Obscure characters from Neverland and Oz are the first to show up and since one of the good guys has had "Oz" read to her when she was much younger,she provides enough background so that you understand everything.But our good guys make a fatal mistake that rewrites every book of "Oz" in existence. This novel tells how they were able to do that.This book shows great imagination. I only wish I could have seen illustrations of the pictures in the library. They were described, but in this case description wasn't quite enough.
