**Bizarro fiction at its weirdest**

This is the story of a cynical little boy named Evan Jacobson, who goes through a hole in the basement wall and into another world...but a world HE created. Evan quickly realizes that he is stuck inside his OWN IMAGINATION.

Although the hero is young, this book is filled with plenty of grown-up humor that will have you and your kids laughing, shaking your head at the ridiculousness of it all, wondering why in the world the author is an actual character in the book, and possibly doing all three at the same time.

* Over 300 pages of high-speed, middle grade weirdness* A dozen awesome illustrations by Shaun Cochran

If you enjoyed Norton Juster's classic children's book The Phantom Tollbooth, or Roald Dahl's wonderful B.F.G. or James and the Giant Peach, your middle-schooler (or even you, mom and dad!) will have a bonafide blast reading this wacky adventure.

Bump the Log

"Run for it!" Evan shouted.

"I can't run for it, remember?" Bump hollered back. "I'm a log."

"Okay, then roll for it!" Evan tried again.

And off they rolled.

King Flibbertigibbet

The king was barely as tall as Evan. He held a wand in his right hand, which he used to conduct the entire town like a symphony.

Dancing Danes

The Danes looked perfectly normal. Well, except for the nonstop dancing, constant flag-waving, the matching jumpsuits, and the huge goofy grins that never left their happy faces.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

"...The four prisoners all looked scared and/or nervous. Just when things had started to look up in the last chapter, Evan, Red, Bump, and Ralph found themselves in the worst situation yet..."

The book came in great condition, my son is reading this now and there are a lot of difficult "non" words in it that make the flow of reading not fun. He seems to enjoy it though.

I sent this to my very precocious grandson in Ireland (age 8 going on 10) who's calling Hole in The Wall a great American novel. He's looking for a sequel. I'm sending him The Evil Mouse Chronicles.
