Neverwhere

Have you ever had a day where things started out okay - just in your rut, and you imagine that maybe you'd like to be somewhere else? Well, what if you didn't imagine that but suddenly, through events and circumstances that you will never understand, you get pulled out of your rut to....somewhere else. That's the problem set up for our hero in this story. And, oh, what a ride he is about to be on. In typical Neil Gaiman fashion, things get crazy real quick, but it always has some thread that you can almost see or touch or smell that hangs you right on believability.

This adventure is like no other - back in the real world, this story may set you to thinking about what is truly important in life and what you want.

There's probably too much weirdness and violence for kiddos, but this is definitely a winner for young adult on up.
