MacHale's take on it, however, is quite novel. Part Sliders and owing a lot to 1970's children's sci fi fare such as A Wrinkle In Time, this tale of a time and space travelling kid out to stop the destruction of all the worlds by tackling a great evil is nothing really new. Luckily this is not true for MacHale, and what we have here is a first novel that is full of promise, and while not perfect, a jolly good read in every sense of the word. Admittedly, this takes a very creative mind, but not necessarily one that is suited to writing books instead of say, scripts for the more visual arts. MacHale is better known for his TV shows, especially the After School TV specials and his work on bringing Encyclopedia Brown from the printed page to before the camera. Summary: A fun roller coaster of a read as we journey through time and space with Bobby Pendragon to stop an evil menace.ĭ.
