I've no real comments on the novel itself, but the audio narration was just not good. It sounded like high school play acting at times, and I didn't care enough about the story to carry on listening to it.

(Audiobook)

I found this through my library app. I'm surprised there's not much on Goodreads in regards to reviews.

I actually thought this was a well put together story with some interesting concepts around dreaming and the dreamer.

The mc is a young boy named Toby. After trying to understand/accept his parents separation, he finds himself in a strange new place with his mum. A new home, a new school and all Toby wants is to go home.

In a strange turn of events, Toby stumbles into a story book world... a story being written by his father.

Toby's character was believable for his age - his interactions between other characters for example.

An interesting tale with plenty of twists and turns along the way.
