I originally bought this book for the kite fliers in the family. After a couple of months of it sitting forlornly on a pile of unread books, I picked it up. It reminds me a bit of [b:Interworld|47701|Interworld|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170348293s/47701.jpg|2661] except for the descriptions of kites and how they're made (which will probably please the kite fliers if they ever get around to reading it) and the lack of super-heroness. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Hapless Oliver, who lives in the trees in the town of Windblowne, seeks his eccentric great-uncle Gilbert's help in creating a kite for the all-important kite festival, but when Gilbert suddenly disappears, Oliver is guided by one of Gilbert's kites in a quest through different worlds to find him.

Sometimes Oliver seemed a little slow with catching up on what's happening, but younger readers or newcomers to the main idea behind the book probably won't have the same impression.
I felt the ending was wrapped up a tad too quickly as I wanted to know more about some things that happened (or were revealed to have happened), but it wasn't rushed or unsatisfying - on the contrary, it ended in a satisfying way with plenty of room for imagination and future possibilities for the characters. Nice! The more I think about it, the more I like the book. Recommended!
Edit: Oh, and as a PS for Dianna Wynne Jones fans: no, it's not quite like DWJ's books (someone should have called Chrestomanci!), it's less intricate and quirky and doesn't quite have her twinkly wit and that graceful nonchalance of weaving a story. Maybe not yet! It's really charming in its own way, though. ( )
