Jack Fisher is an 11 year old boy having a difficult time. He is failing his classes in school and is planning on going to skateboard camp for the summer. Instead of going to skateboard camp, he is going to summer school. He decides to run away to go to camp but he falls asleep in the park and gets grounded for the summer.
He attends
a family gathering at his Grandma’s house.
There he discovers a whole new world.
The characters in Weaverworld are very charming. Jack will soon learn that the people in Weaverworld have a gift – the
ability to use their imagination to create things. This gift must only be used for doing
good. There is an evil force in
Weaverworld that Jack must find the courage to destroy.
Weaverworld
was vividly and creatively described. It
has secrets, action, danger, and a lot of fantasy characters. I enjoyed the book. It has all of the elements of fantasy. It will appeal to both boys and girls. It is comparable to The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. (--reviewed by C.Ingram)
Book Description: Jack Fisher is a boy in trouble. Disobedient and rebellious, he fights
with his sister Jillian, challenges his parents' authority and fails his
classes at school. But when temptation overpowers his better judgment
during the annual family reunion the consequences are more drastic than
anyone could have imagined. Ignoring his grandmother's warning to stay
out, Jack goes up to the attic and tries on his grandfather's old bomber
jacket and boots. Suddenly transported to a world called Weaverworld,
Jack must quickly adjust to his new reality. Weaverworld is a mystical
place and the longer he's there the more willing he is to let go of the
rules from his life in the Realworld. But not everything is as
enchanting as it seems. Jack soon learns that Weaverworld can also be a
dangerous and terrifying place as the vengeful Grimsnipe enmeshes him in
an ever more dangerous web of intrigue. With his new friends at his
side, Jack must find a way to fight this evil force before it succeeds
in destroying both his family and the Weaver way of life.
