What, exactly, has Phineas been preparing him for? And, the biggest mystery of all, who is Sky really and why does everyone want to kill him?!
My thoughts on the book:
This book was just so much fun. It was quite easy read, with lots of great & fun characters (Hands was my favourite secondary character - he & his monster hugging) with really funny dialogue & lots of action. I loved the storyline & the world the author had created. Although there weren't really any surprises in it, at least not for me, I still enjoyed every second of it. Great MG fantasy book that every child would enjoy. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the sequel in the future.
