![]() ![]() I had fun reading about Leven and friends and their adventures in Foo. There's just enough comedy, suspense, adventure, mystery, imagination, and even puppy-love romance to keep the 8 - 16 crowd innocent but engaged. ![]() ![]() Phew! Finally done with Foo! I started reading the series to preview them for my kids, and I'm happy to say the Leven Thumps series is full of good, clean fun. Obert Skye has created that same desire within me to be a Nit. I would give almost anything to be a wizard at Hogwarts, or an Elve in Middle Earth. And Foo? Foo amazes me just as much as Hogwarts and even middle earth, though Skye doesn't create his own language like Tolkien. Harry Potter left me breathless and so did Leven Thumps. There are clues he leaves in the beginning books that you won't understand until the end that are just genius. His analogy's, the way he explains things, the characters, and world he creates are unlike any other author's work that I've ever read. You will see how Obert Skye is a creative genius. I am almost 17, though I started these books when i was about 12 and as I get older I can see how these books are considered children's books. But, i think it is a great book for all ages. And yes, this is a book directed towards children. Yes there will be times when you feel a bit worn out from all of the adventures because, most of the time, right after the the characters get out of trouble, trouble finds them again. ![]() All I have to say is you must read all of the books in order. ![]()
