The amazing finale to the best-selling series! In the fifth and final volume of the epic saga of Leven Thumps, all of Foo is rushing madly to exit the realm of dreams while Leven is headed in the opposite direction. Fate snatches him to the island of Alder, where he is poised to pass or fail the final test. Meanwhile, in Reality, Ezra and Dennis are welcoming those flowing out of Foo - but only so they can selfishly conquer them and gain control of both realms. Phoebe is loose, and it takes Geth getting a hold of her to begin to balance the emotions and passions of all that is crumbling. And Winter? Well, Winter just might hold the answer to everything. Ride with Leven and Clover as they travel through the ruins of Alder hoping he has what it takes to save all mankind and restore the power of dreams.

Awesome

Leven thumps is a great book for kids of all ages!!! I loved how the narrater did lots of different voices!!! Read it, its a great book

love this

I love this story. I was sorry to see it end. EB Stevens is a phenomenal narrator. This is not the first series I have listened to that has been narrated by Evie Stevens I can't wait to find the next one. and there will forever be little things that make me think of Foo

amazing overall, ending was drawn out

I have thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. I found every book hard to put down extremely engaging, and have flown through the series in about 10 days. however the last five to seven chapters of this last book I found was very drawn-out & hard to stay engaged in. aside from that the ending was fantastic and I can't wait to jump into the follow-up series. thank you Obert Skye & EB Stevens for this masterpiece!

sooooo good

the book is just too good, couldn't bear a moment of my life not listening it
.

Whimsical.

I loved this whole series. I laughed and I cried. but mostly, I was taken from reality and went on a wonderful journey. If you need to escape your life and you cling to magical, fantastical children's books as I do, this is for you. O.S. Outdoes himself again. (Check out Wizard for Hire too)

definitely meant for kids and teens, but still good for adults.

As an adult going through the series again, I never really realized In my youth how obert skye could go into such graphic detail about something so intensely disgusting or horrific that it gives you nightmares, and yet not throw in a single swear or curse. it threw me for a loop XD
I actually would really have enjoyed it if there was a little more swearing, but I'm not the author.
either way, a good story.

The narrator was a nice pick for the story, really seemed to grasp the characters well. there were a few times he seemed a little bland, but honestly he ran with it and made it work really well!

This is a story everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. give it a read!

not bad for younger children

it's a good ending to the series, and is awesome for kids. adults or adolescents may find it a bit gimmicky and shallow at times, but it still enjoyable overall. some of the voices and effects made me physically angry at how obnoxious they were, but this is a book for younger readers, so I can't hold it against it's overall score.

in summary, great book with decent performance. story is engaging and unique, with a bit of a familiar fantasy-esque twist that feels comfortably familiar while also being refreshingly new. the characters made me chuckle at times, because they were so familiar and known that it elicited a "ha, classic [name]" response.

great for kids, still a solid choice for older readers.
