Finished another 'Tween series (mom)

I have now finished another series that was recommened by Justin.  This one is Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo et al series.  It is about a boy who is raised in Oklahoma by some really awful people so by the time he is 14 he is ready to leave.  It just so happens that he is the only one who can save the Land of Foo, a place where the dreams of mankind are taken and worked so that they can be fulfilled.  It has many magical creatures but over the years evil has worked its way in.  Leven is watched over by  Clover, a sycophant, who is a special creature from Foo who works with humans who are taken mistakenly to Foo.  Leven is also watched over by a tree named Geth,  originally a Lithen (who was changed into a seed), an ancient race of beings that live in Foo.  He meets Winter, a nit (a human taken to Foo) who volunteers to come back as a baby to be raised by a self-centered mother.  They all get together and go to Foo through a special gateway that Leven's grandfather built.  They have to destroy the gateway after they go through so none of the evil entities are able to get to our world or Reality.  Too Late! Something already did.
Once in Foo, Leven has adventures, makes alot of mistakes that seem to eventually work out, and becomes a warrior for goodness against an evil being set to mesh Foo and Reality together.  As Leven travels through Foo he gains wisdom and grows in stature.  He learns to trust that things will work out as they are supposed to and the importance of choosing good friends.
I really enjoyed reading all 5 books.  I read the first two and becuse we didn't have the others went out and bought the other three.  I finished them this morning and didn't want it to end.  If you like fantasy, you would like this.  It is tween book, so pretty easy to read.
Now you may be wondering when I had time to read 5 books.  Well, I have to say that not much has gotten done around here.  I have stayed up way too late reading and haven't kept up very well on my household duties.  I haven't worked much in the last couple of weeks, but I still have peaches that need to be done and tomatoes that are on the vine to be picked.  I need to get a few things done before I begin another adventure.
Steph was saying that she really didn't want to read any more tween books, so I thought that for the month of October maybe we could read something from Tony Hillerman.  He is mystery writer that bases his stories in the southwest.  Or maybe something that has to do with Halloween.  Or even Columbus.   It is also breast cancer awareness month and we all have been touched by that disease, maybe we could find something that has to do with that.
So where are all of the other blogs -hmmm?  I look forward to reading them!
