by Dianna Wynne JonesChristopher Chant has very vivid dreams about going to other places, just like a lot of people. Unlike a lot of people, when he gets back his clothes still have the dirt of the other places. When his uncle finds out about this unique gift, he sends Christopher to all sorts of cool places to collect...something. He doesn't know what he's getting, but he has lots of fun doing it. And in this one place, there's this one girl that...enough said. He meets lots of people and realizes the world is so much bigger than even he thought.
Audience:
Teen, mostly. The book is too slow to hold the interest of children
What I Love:
Christopher is so charming. All the characters are very real, even when they're kind of ridiculous This is a fun light read.
Cautions:
1) This is not one I'd stay up all night reading, it's a lot slower than that
2) These books are not a series so much as companions. There are recurring characters, but the main character is different in each book.
