Editorial Reviews

The Ruins of Adler, the final fantasy adventure of fourteen year old Leven Thumps is nothing short of the continued action, humor and adventure of the previous novels within the series. The people of the land of Foo are wildly rushing to leave the realm of dreams but Leven Thumps seems to be the only one racing in the opposite direction of the exit. He is taken to the island of Adler with his trusty sycophant, Clover where he will have to face a final test. Will Leven pass or fail? Meanwhile, in Reality, the people who left Foo are being welcomed by Dennis and Ezra. Unbeknownst to all of Foo, Dennis and Ezra plan to conquer and gain control over both domains, Foo and Reality. Ezra is on the lookout for Geth, knowing he will be seeking revenge. In this final book, Winter who has been searching for her purpose may be the key to all that is happening. The reader will completely become engrossed in this imaginative land through the wonderful imagery and illustrations provided throughout the book. Reviewer: Lisette Baez
