My brother-in-law recommended this book and it was fantastic! A boy and his crazy cousin magically go to another world where fairytale characters live. They have to save the cousin's dog, find a way home, and discover the family secret - but they don't know who to trust. It was a great light read. Very imaginative. Emily Rodda also writes a young readers series called "Deltora Quest" that Tyler can read. I highly recommend this book.
