Mehso-so

Howie is sent a map of his town which gives the true names of various locations. If he knocks on a portal and says the true name aloud he will be instantly transported to the location. Mild shenanigans ensue.

I was a bit surprised because I'd read some of the author's adult fiction and didn't realise he also wrote for children. The book was OK but various plot lines were not followed up and then the book just stopped. A bit of a disappointment.

Before I received the “Secret Guide to North Mellwood“ in the mail and met my unborn little sister, my life was pretty normal.
