Leven Thumps
I'm reading Leven Thumps by Orbert Skye. It's a great book and I'm almost done. My friend is reading it, too. I have all the books, 1,2,3,4,5. Like I said, all of them. I'm on the second book, and I still have to read the others.
In the book, Leven is a boy that had a dad that died before he was born. His mom died giving birth so he was raised by his ugly mean aunt named Addy. Addy didn't care about him, so he had a bad life. Since they lived in a small house, Leven had to sleep on a toddler bunk-bed. When Leven left and came back, Addy didn't care and acted like he never was gone.
When Leven meets Clover, she is friend that helps him discover Foo. Clover is from the world of Foo, which means that he is some kind of weird creature. Clover has a special robe, he can put anything in it and it will never get full. Clover can also turn invisible and can live forever. Leven is a nit witch means he has a special power. his power is to see the future. His other friend is winter, she is also a nit, she can make things freeze.
All she has to do is imagine the thing frozen and it freezes, but if she touches the frozen thing then it becomes unfrozen. She had a bad life, too. Her mother called her names and barely fed her.
The surprise is that Winter's mom wasn't really her mom. What happened was that Winter already lived in Foo and she was a great worer. But for the sake of Foo she transformed herself into a baby and she didn't unlock her memory until she was in Foo.
When Leven and Winter met they entered Foo and they also entered the second book. In the second book a raven takes Winter away and leaves Leven with scratches, bumps, and a bruise. Later he gets stuck in the gunt. The gunt is this creature that fills in big gaps underground so that the people in Foo don't go in the world of reality.
So, Leven gets stuck in the gunt when the ravens dropped him in the hole that they made, and soon gets out. Winter and Amealia also get stuck in the gunt. Amealia is Leven's grandma and she lived in foo so Leven never really knew her. After Winter makes it out she gets captured and
Sadly Amealia died getting caught in the gunt's sticky goo. Later in the book Leven comes to a bridge, but this isn't any ordinary bridge. The bridge is actually alive! You see they start out as rocks and they can't wait to become a bridge but as soon as they become a bridge they find out that its lame and they don't like it. So Leven had to flatter it or it will fall down and you will fall in the lava that is underneath. Leven get past the bridge but the problem is is that I don't known what happens next, don't worry I'll write when I finish.
That is a really great book! I read it and I had a lot of fun reading it. I'm sure you did too! I like how you gave the main idea of the story and that's a good writing quality.
