Summary
“Well, you must see. Simply because no one has ever come to see whether every local legend is true, does not mean that they are all true until proven otherwise.”
“And why not? Why must we accept that just because the consensus is against magic that it does not exist? Why can a man not climb Cow Hill, find the Oak Tree and climb it as well, and step through into some sort of land whereby the distance to the Moon can be made under his own power?”
“Well, surely all it will take is a man willing to make such a journey.”
Thurston Ridgely has been told stories all his life of the magic that exists just around the corner, for those bold and daring and believing enough to find it. When one fateful night his friends challenge him to a bet to prove the stories true, it will start him on a journey that will change his life forever. For there may well have been some truth to his mother’s old stories, and he is teetering on the edge of a world beyond his wildest imagination.
From the rolling hills of the Cloud Kingdom to the vast barren spaces of the Star Lands, Thurston’s journey will introduce him to creatures he never thought possible, worlds he never knew existed, and secrets that have been kept hidden for centuries. But with the help of some unlikely companions and more than a little courage, he will find his way through.
An exciting adventure book suitable for listeners aged seven and up. But as long as you enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, or Artemis Fowl, there may well be something here for you. This audiobook version is narrated by the author.
