Bobby Pendragon is a seemingly normal fourteen-year-old boy. He has a family, a home, and even Marley, his beloved dog. But there is something very special about Bobby. He is going to save the world. And not just Earth as we know it. Bobby is slowly starting to realize that life in the cosmos isn't quite what he thought it was. And before he can object, he is swept off to an alternate dimension known as Denduron, a territory inhabited by strange beings, ruled by a magical tyrant, and plagued by dangerous revolution. If Bobby wants to see his family again, he's going to have to accept his role as savior, and accept it wholeheartedly. Because, as he is about to discover, Denduron is only the beginning....

Difficult Narrator
Bobby is a normal 14-year-old, concerned with everyday stuff like playing in a basketball tournament and kissing the girl he's had a crush on for years. Then his strange Uncle Press shows up to inform Bobby that they need to go somewhere to help some people. Bobby is a bit surprised, but trusts his uncle. Little does he know that the people they need to help are in another dimension. Bobby is somehow expected to help in the rebellion of an entire class of people on another planet, possibly in another time.
The concept of this book is a classic one--a young, unaware hero must rise to the task and come to the aid of people in need. Bobby is a fairly annoying hero, though. He is woefully unprepared for his task, which is strange since Uncle Press seems to know what will be expected of him. He is selfish and whiny, too. These are normal characteristics for a fourteen-year-old, but don't make for a great narrator of an adventure story.
I did like the fact that the girls in the story were incredibly strong and competent, but didn't think their strength had to be at the expense of the boys' strength and abilities.

ADVENTURESOME
In this book of epic adventure, trust, and friendship, a regular boy about 12 years old is going to save the world. Just tring to live a normal life, Bobby gets sucked into a stange world with his crazy uncle, he battles mean knights, crazy bears, and a greedy king. I thought DJ MacHale,s main message was be brave. At many points in the book, Bobby was very scared but faced his fear and completed his crazy quest. I really enjoyed this book because of its exciting action and deep thinking. I think you would enjoy it too.

OK but really only 3.5 stars
This was ok....not my usual genre but it was free on the kindle. The story moved along well but sometimes I got tired of the immature writing. Not sure I'll read any more in this series
