Vreeland
Ratings1
Average rating5
In every school, there is always one exceptional individual who stands out from the rest of the crowd. Seventeen-year-old Anton knows this all too well. Creative, sensitive, and musically-gifted, he possesses an intangible quality that draws both the admiration of young girls and the ire of teenage boys. Teased since grade school for his slightly-pointed ears, and tormented in high school because of the long, brown hair he's grown to cover them, he finds solace in a world of fantasy where his unconventional nature is not only welcomed, but desired. While at summer camp, the other boys pull a cruel prank that drives him into the woods, terrified and injured, and he stumbles into a deep hole where he falls into an altered state of consciousness; or does he? When he awakens, he finds himself in a most unusual, delightful place, surrounded by five charming, female, fairy-like creatures. "This is Vreeland," explains Titi, a most captivating winged beauty. As the seed of love sprouts and grows between Titi and Anton, it is eventually discovered that he is, in fact, the son of the Great Architect, whom the Vrees revere. As the prophesied Chosen One, Anton is therefore destined to rescue the Queen of Peace from her captor-the malignant Drakon, Lord of the Weets. But how will this be accomplished? What hidden strength must be realized within Anton to see this mission fulfilled? And will he ever return to the realm from whence he came?

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
GOOD JOB, MR. STRUMP! YOUR WORDS HAVE PAINTED A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE IN MY HEAD. I did not expect to actually enjoy this book but it sucked me in and soon I felt like I was right there beside the characters experiencing their adventures along side them. I am positive Vreeland will stay alive in my mind for quite sometime. This book could easily become the next hit thing. I would not be surprised if I one day see an animated Anton and Titi on television and little plastic replicas of them in the toy department.
At summer camp Anton runs off into the woods after the other kids play a horrible prank on him and make fun of because of his pointy ears. He falls into a hole in the ground and finds himself in a place called Vreeland. He finds that many things here are the same as home only on a much larger scale, a cherry tomato that won't even fit through the front door. He encounters many different types of people, some have wings and pointy ears, others are short and as round as they are tall, there are even some that have fins and live in the water (mermaids but that's not what they are called). He is instantly drawn to a fairy like girl name Titi and soon finds himself falling in love with her. Anton is believed to be the Chosen One who is prophesied to save the Queen of Peace from the evil Lord of the Weets.
I recommend this book to people of all ages who enjoyed books such as Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan etc.
