A fantasy adventure from the viewpoint of Haroun Khalifa, a child who is trying to deal with his mother leaving him and his dad for another man. Will he "grow up" and accept that life is dull, serious, and factual? Or will he find his way back to his imagination?
It was delightful to read. The author uses diverse language and made-up words that makes the story alive. Each character has a unique way of talking that was delivered so good I had a unique voice for each of them in my had. (I can still hear Butt the Hoopoe's mechanical bird voice in my head saying "Va va vroom. No problem".)
