One boy’s boredom leads to adventure.
One minute, Pete was sitting there listening to the teacher drawl on about math, and the next time seemed to be frozen.
During this strange moment, he meets a friendly dinosaur named Reginald, also known as Reggie, who offers to help him return to reality. Reggie suggests they visit a friend who might know how to bring Pete back. Will Pete be able to find a way back to his world?
This book was a captivating and unusual story. The concept of the outer mind, a realm where imagination and time intersect, was intriguing and enthralling. The train rides throughout the story provided a much-needed respite from the action and added a sense of calm to the narrative.
The protagonist, Pete, was a curious and selfless character whose keen perception made him all the more relatable. His companion, Reggie, was a charming dinosaur with a gentlemanly demeanor who always knew when Pete needed comfort.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a thrilling adventure with plenty of twists and turns. It is a shame that the young author, Bastian Gregory, could not see his work published entirely due to his untimely passing. However, his family can take pride knowing he has left an incredible legacy through his writing.
