Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo

I loved this book written by Obert Skye. Fourteen-year-old Leven Thumps lives a wretched life in the fictional town of Burnt Culvert, Oklahoma. But his life is about to change and his destiny be fulfilled as he learns about a secret gateway that bridges two worlds – the real world and Foo, a place created at the beginning of time in the folds of the mind that makes it possible for mankind to dream and hope, aspire and imagine. But Foo is in chaos, and three transplants from that dream world have been sent to retrieve Leven.
