Growing up, we all had imaginary friends, but James’s pals are so awesome that
one can easily believe they are real. It all begins with a beautiful and
unusual cloud that seemed to be stuck in place. As James daydreams about its
mysterious beauty, he is launched on an unexpected adventure in the company of
his imaginary friends. As they try to discover the meaning of the cloud, they
end up becoming key players in a battle in which rivals fight to take control.
From flying on a blue dragon’s back to their eager search for a lost key that
opens a spell book, James and his friends have a day packed with suspense and
drama. However, they still manage to get him home by dinnertime so he can tell
his family all about it. Amongst the Clouds by Wendy Nystrom is an awesome book
that young and old will enjoy.
In Amongst the Clouds, author Wendy Nystrom does a brilliant job of describing
how high a child’s imagination can actually fly. The main protagonist dozes off
and ends up in the middle of a lucid dream that teaches him a number of
valuable lessons about the importance of loyalty. The story is well written and
contains a lot of characters with which kids can easily identify. At the same
time, Wendy Nystrom shares a little bit of Icelandic culture with the reader,
enabling him or her to easily grasp the context of the adventure. The language
is vibrant and appropriate for children, and the book includes many
illustrations that add to the mental image so aptly formed by her words.
Illustrated Adventure Chapter Books for ages 7-12 but many have enjoyed
Amongst the Clouds Adventure 4 in the James and Syvok Adventures.
