jourey to the blue moon

i think the language used in this book is great, The characters are even better. the young boy who makes this journey has lost his time he can not find the time very easily. his partners who accompany this young boy by the name of alex are for one his wonderful dog zeke, his 'supposedly' bold rash partner from medieval times simon nash and finally the wonderful lady of the party Mrs. Mumsley who is very heart broken. I would advise this book to anyone that is willing for a good adventure that includes major fantasy
