Joey Harker isn't a hero.In fact, he's the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house.But then one day, Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.Joey's walk between the worlds makes him prey to two terrible forces—armies of magic and science who will do anything to harness his power to travel between dimensions.When he sees the evil those forces are capable of, Joey makes the only possible choice: to join an army of his own, an army of versions of himself from different dimensions who all share his amazing power and who are all determined to fight to save the worlds.Master storyteller Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award-winning science-fiction writer Michael Reaves team up to create a dazzling tale of magic, science, honor, and the destiny of one very special boy—and all the others like him.

It took me a little while to get into this book. I think I was trying to read it like a YA novel (since the protagonist is a teenager), but it felt more like a children's book. Once I decided it was a children's book, I definitely loved it.

If you're looking for really good sci-fi, I wouldn't recommend it. The science in it seemed really good, but it was definitely more fantasy than sci-fi. But of course, fantasy is what he does best.

I do hope there are more books after this one. It stands really well by itself, but it felt like it would work really well as an introduction to a larger story: a Hobbit waiting for its Lord of the Rings.
