About the Book

'Toby Dickinson's New Dimensions' is a saga/fantasy designed to be the first book of five. The story occurs predominantly on another world in the same place as Earth, but three minutes ahead in time.

Toby Dickinson is a studious thirteen year old who secretly longs for excitement. His parents are killed and quite suddenly Toby finds all the adventure he can handle.

Queen Sparrania, the young ruler of a vast land, needs help. Someone from Earth might be able to solve her problems, but there's only an old man that understands what to do since David Dickinson died. Toby can't accept the loss of his parents and ultimately realizes he can change things. Frenzied evil also threatens in the grotesque shape of Jordip Phetmush and the quirleech.

With new friends helping and adversaries pursuing Toby becomes involved in a quest that includes several thrilling fights, some exciting chases, storms at sea, treks through jungles, cruises down rivers, beautiful sunsets, red herrings and a solution to everything.

If changes are forever...
