Book Overview
When Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award winner Michael Reaves teamed up, they created the bestselling YA novel InterWorld . InterWorld tells the story of Joey Harker, a very average kid who discovers that his world is only one of a trillion alternate earths. Some of these earths are ruled by magic. Some are ruled by science. All are at war. Joey teams up with alternate versions of himself from an array of these worlds. Together, the army of Joeys must battle evil magicians Lord Dogknife and Lady Indigo to keep the balance of power between all the earths stable. Teens--and tweens and adults--who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream .

Such a fun, thought-provoking story!
Published by Abbie , 2 years ago
This book was lighthearted and spunky; a brilliant combination of sci-fi and fantasy, and such an interesting plot! After months of heavy literature for my college classes, this book was a breath of fresh air.

Clever and touching!

How much more can you play with the baqsic idea of multiple dimensions? Well, plenty! The authors create an original, clever, and capturing read that would pleasure both young and mature readers alike. I recommended this to all my friends (and to some of their older kids).
Great, Fast Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I am slightly biased as I am a huge Neil Gaiman fan, but this book is great. It is a very quick read and is definitely targeted for the younger audience, but it is still a brilliant story. This would be a great book to introduce the young reader to Gaiman or for an older reader (such as myself) to just kick back and relax for a bit.
read it. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE just because it might be for kids
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
It's great. It's just great. I love Gaiman, of course. And it's not, as it would be suggested, for kids. There's no sex but some violence, and characters die. The plot is twisted, Gaiman-like, will keep you sit tight and make you wish the book was larger or there would be a sequence. And you might want to think a bit.
Neal Gaiman almost never fails
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Great, this is for children of course but is also enjoyable for adults anyway. I read the whole thing in an afternoon, would have loved to see it as a TV show or movie, maybe an anime would be the best medium. Anything from Gaiman has great quality - sorry, never heard of the other author before - and almost always is just what I like.
Great Characters and True Imagination
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Wow! The story was smart, exciting, and there's a part with the protagonist, Joey and his mom that got me a bit choked up. A real page turner, I found I was saying to myself, "just one more page, and one more, and... A thoroughly satisfying sci-fi adventure, with a touch of Spielberg film (without the sappy music). Great character development, incredible worlds, and something lacking in many films today: unbelievably horrible and hate-able villains. So bad you could smell them. Bravo!
