WELCOME TO FOO.Fourteen-year-old Leven Thumps (a.k.a. "Lev") lives a wretched life in Burnt Culvert, Oklahoma. But his life is about to change and his destiny be fulfilled as he learns about a secret gateway that bridges two worlds -- the real world and Foo, a place created at the beginning of time in the folds of the mind that makes it possible for mankind to dream and hope, aspire and imagine. But Foo is in chaos, and three transplants from that dreamworld have been sent to retrieve Lev, who alone has the power to save Foo.
Enter Clover, a wisecracking, foot-high sidekick; Winter, a girl with a special power of her own; and Geth, the rightful heir to Foo. Their mission: to convince Lev that he has the power to save Foo. Can this unique band of travelers help Lev overcome his doubt? Will Lev find the gateway in time? Or will Sabine and his dark shadows find the gateway first and destroy mankind?

best book almost! loved itbest book almost! loved it
I'm really not sure how I feel about this, it felt slow and agonizing to read, every time I opened the book and read a few pages I fell asleep. Granted I was sick when I read this, it was really not very good. I know it was written for younger audiences, but I really like stuff like this usually, but with Leven Thumps I just felt so over it all. Although I must say that there were a few witty parts thanks solely to Clover, the furry sycophant. In most stories of the young overcoming harsh
It took me a long time to read this book, mostly because I never quite got hooked on the story. The author used quite a bit of creativity developing his characters, and the ideas behind Foo were interesting, but none of the personalities or relationships were moving enough to grab me. The Gateway to Foo was a fun adventure that might appeal to middle grade readers. Perhaps my hopes were set too high when I started the book; it wasn't what I expected.
Recommended to me by a former senior student who said these books were better than Harry Potter and his favorite books in the world, I had to get them. I listened to most of the book on C.D., then finished it in book form because I wanted to see "What happens next?!?"... I found it very engaging. Skye has an enjoyable wit, great ideas, and a very cool concept. The idea is that there is reality (the place in which we live) and Foo, the land of dreams which is also possible to be "sucked" into,
A very good, easy read. I loved the characters and the general silliness of the book. A sort of simple writing style by Skye, but I like simple sometimes (like in this case). Obviously meant for a younger crowd, the book should be enjoyable to anyone up until the early teens or any person who is still a kid at heart, like me (even though I'm only 16).
What would happen if you were whisked away on a fantastical adventure throughout the globe with a strange cat creature and a girl with silver blonde hair? Well if you are not very creative you can read Leven Thumps and the gateway to Foo. A fourteen year old boy named Leven finds out that he is a part of huge destiny between four heroes to stop mass chaos. After getting bullied for his strange white streak in his hair. The book was enjoyable to me because it was a fast paced fantasy read that I
