Neil Gaman’s InterWorld A Mix of Adventure and Magic

Neil Gaman is at it again. After his hugely successful works, Coraline, and M is for Magic, he has penned another work of fiction.
In InterWorld, our hero, Joey Harker, isn’t your typical hero. He has – we’ll call them “issues”. For one, he gets lost a lot. One day, he gets really lost and finds himself in another dimension. He figures out that he has the ability to enter multiple dimensions – and that’s where his troubles begin.
I’m not a sci-fi fan (don’t get me started on the confusion between fantasy and sci-fi, HarperCollins calls it both) but I am increasingly a Gaiman fan. The book is an odd mixture of magic and science and will definitely appeal to the Harry Potter crowd.
The book is recommended for ages 10 and up. It retails for $16.99, hardback.

Thank you so much for the heads up on this book!

I love Neil Gaiman’s work – I’m sure you know the books he collaborated with Terry Pratchett on!
Goodie…. a new Neil Gaiman is a BIG treat to look forward to. Actually… I have missed several of his books, so this was an especially thumbs up posting for me!
Thanks, glad to hear it.
Ironically, I don’t usually care for fiction that is more fantasy-oriented but Gaiman is spectacular!
