Pendragon Book 1: The Merchant of Death

Bobby Pendragon is just a normal kid. He has everything a guy could want. A home, a loving family, a coolio Uncle, and even a hot girlfriend, Courtney Chetwynde. But All of that changes when his Uncle Press barges in on Bobby and Courtney kissing to take Bobby away from Stony Brook. He tells him that he is a Traveler, someone who travels through time and space to other territories to save them from collapsing into chaous. The duo also try to stop Saint Dane from doing the opposite, even though Saint Dane is also a Traveler. So Bobby unwillingly becomes a Travler and is flumed of to Denduron. Flumes are the way Travlers get from territory to territory. So reading the letters that Bobby sends home to his own territory,Second Earth, Mark Dimond, geek and Bobby's best friend, realizes that Bobby's adventure to Denduron could be life threatning. Heck, with Saint Dane, Denduron, and the rest of Halla,every person and thing on every territory, I would wet my pants so much that they would be yellow. Also, he meets Loor and Osa. The Travlers from Zadda. He also learns that even though the person who you'd least expect can be an enemy. Quig: bear.
I'm not going to give away the whole story. Now the review. I got confused at the beginning of the book because it was written like a journal and I thought that it was written like a regular book. It goes from Bobby's life and then what goes on at Second Earth. All in all, I would recommend this book to people ages 10 and up for the occasional swear word. I would give this story:three stars.
