      It makes me sad to write this as John Connolly is one of my favorite writers. But this book.... dismal. I will probably give it a second chance, but for now, I have to abandon it.

      It takes in WWII. A young boy has lost his mother, his father remarried quickly and now he has an infant brother. He and his step-mum do not get along and his father seems to blame him.

      One night as he lies sleeping his mother's voice awakens him. He follows her voice to a tree. At the same time he gets to the tree a plane crashes into his backyard. The mother's voice tells him to come into the tree, so he does... and lands in a different world. It gets a bit chaotic after this.
