Reviews

[Catherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just finished reading this to my 7 yr old, and he loved it! I had read the series years ago, and was pretty sure he'd like them. It's the story (as told by 11 yr old Paul) of a trans dimensional girl, Tee Dee, who is looking for her father and can't get home without him.
A good story with the added humour of Paul's jinx which means that anything electronic fries when he's near.
Very enjoyable and highly recommended for either pre-teen/early teen readers or younger if you read it to them.
