Customer Reviews

Nicole Harris Highly recommends this one

In the novel, Into the Void by Adam Teachout, Lucy Deakins has spent much of the last two years hiding her true feelings behind her imagination. When her father died on September 11, 2001, Lucy's free-spirited ideas and creations became her whole world. However, when she got older, there were creatures lurking in the shadows who wanted a piece of her brilliant imagination as well. Lucy, along with her companion Billy, used skill, observation and quick-wit to outsmart and outlive the shadows of her imagination. Adam Teachout has a very different writing style. The chapters in the book are not in order, nor did he intend them to be. Reading the novel was kind of like being able to rewind, pause and fast forward all at the same time. It takes much skill to be able to write an effective piece of literature forward, let alone writing a whole novel from middle outwards. I enjoyed the suspense very much. Adam Teachout is a Middle School teacher and has been writing since he was in the sixth grade. He coaches wrestling and enjoys video games, reading, watching movies and spending time with his wife and daughter. Overall, this novel is about learning to express yourself in different ways and never giving up on life. Entertaining as it is inspiring, Into the Void, is a great way to keep young readers interested in science-fiction and to never lose sight of their imaginations. Highly Recommended: teens looking to lose themselves in a great novel will instantly click with the excitement and suspense. Nicole Harris,

Lucy Deakins has a great imagination. She makes up great endings to books and movies. Since her father died in the September 11th attacks she hasn't been the same, and has been devoting herself more and more to writing these new endings. It is her talent for imagination that attracts the attention of Pandora, an evil being who wishes to rule another world called the Void. Pandora has created makers to help her take over the Void and make it perfect. Lucy doesn't know it, but she is the last maker Pandora needs. Billy, a mute wrestler, is also a maker. However, Billy has already been captured by Pandora and taken into the Void. With the help of another maker, a World War II veteran, he escapes Pandora's dungeon but is lost all alone in the Void. Lucy and Billy must not only avoid Pandora, who is scary enough by herself, but they also have to look out for Pandora's huge snake named Nag and her werewolf slave. As if these creatures aren't bad enough, the Void has a nasty habit of changing itself often and with little notice. So, if Lucy and Billy aren't running from Pandora and her goons, they're trying not to fall through the ground that is opening up under their feet. The Void is a very scary place -- can Lucy and Billy survive and get back home? INTO THE VOID is a real page-turner. Adam Teachout is wonderful at describing characters and scenes. The storyline is unique and like nothing you've ever read before. You will find yourself totally sucked into Lucy and Billy's adventures, and the book may need to be removed from your hand because you honestly can't put it down. Can't wait for book two!

Thanks to all of my readers...

Your responses and feedback have been quite exciting for me. I'm invigorated daily by reviews from readers of all ages. I'm working very hard to make sure the sequel, Pillars and Stone, delivers on all levels.
