Sunderworld, Vol. I reads like a Harry Potter story set in an Alice in Wonderland world. I mean that in the best possible way. I absolutely adored this tale. It is empowering for any reader with low self esteem but it is also just pure fun!
Larry is a seventeen-year-old loser. He can’t seem to get anything in his life right. However, he does have his memories of his mother and the fantasy world of Sunder to escape to when his real life gets overwhelming. But what if Sunder is not just a cheesy old television show but instead a real hidden land nestled somewhere in Los Angeles? Will Larry be the hero he feels he should be there? Or is he just going to be disappointed again?
I truly loved Sunderworld, Vol. I. I both couldn’t stop reading it and didn’t want it to end. I can’t recommend it highly enough to both children and adults who want a little magic in their life. Hopeful Volume II will come out soon. 5 stars and a favorite!
