Anyone else ever read this? It's sunk into obscurity.
I bought this in a Dillons bookshop which no longer exists. It's published as a Dolphin Paperback; that imprint no longer exists either.
Published the same year as Harry Potter, yet this children's fantasy sank like a stone. It stars a red-headed boy with glasses who is badly bullied at school but becomes someone special in a magical world.
The cover tag line is; "A Narnia for the 90s." Like the Narnia books, it features children who stumble through a portal into a magical world to complete a quest there. The world they stumble into is not Narnai and has its own magical beings and evil authoritarians. I like the scheming Erica and the cat-like Dollops. It also features colour-changing dragons. Magic happens in liminal spaces. A children's book; but a good children's book.
Note: This is the 2nd book of a trilogy but reading it as a standalone does not detract from the enjoyment in anyway.
