Springman Brothers' Reality Repair by Joshua Wright
Jim Springman Book 2. Scholastic Australia, 2011. ISBN 9781741697858.
(Age 10+) Queen's Port has become imagination central. It's turned into
the Realm of Glory and Jim Springman's older sister Ingrid is stuck in
the middle of it. He has to help her, but to do that he has to go into
the dragon's lair to get her out. Then he needs to make her remember
she is really Ingrid Springman the author of Realm of Glory and
his
sister not the Bandit Queen Evavich a murderous villain and the leader
of the Bugbears in the Realm of Glory. But with people out to kill him,
monsters out to eat him, the local necromancer wanting him back in
school, his brother not wanting to help him and the anchor pills
starting to wear off it won't be as easy as it seems. As if they were
his only problems his friends Ruthie and Josie Cobbler just keep
dragging him deeper and deeper.
This book is hard to get in to: it took me half the book and a dragon
to get in to it. It's a good book with a good ending and I can honestly
say that I didn't realise it was the second in a series. The first book
in the series is Jim Springman and the Realm of Glory, but the
second
book has been written in a way that makes it seem like it isn't
actually a series.
