Absolutely love Mikey Brooks' books. I schedule time to read them and he never disappoints. He has the rare storytelling gift and an ability to focus in on exactly what his intended readers would be thinking as they read the book. There's only one way for that to happen. Mikey has never fully grown-up. Of that I'm certain.Aaron is a kid trying to fit in. He's almost old enough for high school and wants desperately to be in a gang. In order to meet the expectations of the leader he has to steal something from a neighbor's house. But while inside the house's basement he hears noises upstairs and is nearly discovered. He ducks behind a door into a crawl space intending to wait until the coast is clear. But an unexpected turn of events leads him on an adventure in another world where he is immediately accused of witchcraft - having appears suddenly out of thin air will do that.I won't ruin the story for anyone. It's an enchanting tale for all ages, but primarily ten and up and those of us who like Mikey have the ability to connect with our inner child from time to time..
