Here's a new fantasy adventure series that has young readers dreaming for more!

Fourteen-year-old Leven Thumps (a.k.a. "Lev") is no ordinary boy, but that's exactly what Sabine and his dark shadows want him to believe. They know the fate of the world and the dreams of all mankind can be saved by one boy with a powerful gift, one he has yet to understand or control. Enter Clover, a funny foot-high sidekick; Winter, a girl who can freeze things; and Geth, the rightful heir to the dream world of Foo. Three transplants with only one mission: to retrieve Leven and save Foo.

Can this unique band of travelers help Lev overcome his doubt and convince him to do what only he can do? Will Leven find the Gateway in time? Will fate make the difference?

This is the first book of Leven Thumps and his extraordinary journey to a magical place that can no longer be hidden. Welcome to Foo.

If you could sum up Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo in three words, what would they be?

Boy finds purpose

Who was your favorite character and why?

Geth because he never lets bad events get him down.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator could have less vocal suspension. I was troubled by the tone. That being said, we all loved the voice of Clover - it seemed appropriate.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Good verses evil..in your dreams!

Fantastic story - too much audio drama

Good but forgot a detail

Despite the fact that the characters in this book are 14, the book was obviously written for the preteen or tween set. The book has a certain number of the "young audience" fantasy archetypes: the kid stuck in cruel circumstances, the wise mage to lead him on his quest, the evil enemy bent on controlling the world -- and thus, quite accidentally, destroying it. But the nature of Foo -- the land where all human dreams come from, makes this a little bit different.

I will not tell you it's great, because it is not! But younger audiences should appreciate and enjoy it.

A Good Listen for Younger Audiences

I read this back I'm 08 and have spent many years looking for it again as it was one book that kinda just got lost in time. After finding it and seeing it on audible I HAD to give it a listen and I was not disappointed, the book was already great but the narrator does a nice job of voicing each character. really looking forward to the rest of the series

Always a good read and now a good listem

I loved Wizard for hire, so I decided to try a different book series.

chapter 8 gets cut short. I don't know what is going on with that 😕

I don't like the music that transitions the chapters, I wish I could opt out of that.

It's a good story.

The first half of the story is very very slow, also thr story as a whole is a little repetitive. I feel like the writer could have made the story 2 an a half hours shorter and it would have been a better experience. That said the short comings are out done by the good. The story is overall good and entertaining. The concept is interesting. Characters are fun, and consistent. The performance was great, EB Stevens never disappoints.

overall pretty good, but
