Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro.  missmimsy | Jul 24, 2022 |    Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.This was a mixed bag of coming of age, family drama, and a child’s fantasy with late 80’s nostalgia sprinkled in. I found myself skipping through several chapters just to get past the “what the F is going on” moments. The story of a family dealing with a divorce was pretty decent. But, it couldn’t save the book. The fact that the kid was having a hard time and started have hallucinations was unnecessary. And, maybe the fight scenes and imaginary friend conversations were supposed to actually be happening, which makes it even worse.

"When life supplies eleven-year-old Tommy Grant with some unfavorable circumstances intruding on his otherwise tranquil life in Ohio, he retreats into the spell-binding Order of Cosmic Champions. When he discovers that the largely successful animated program and toy line is holding a nationwide "Create-A-Character" contest where applicants submit their action figure designs, Tommy knows he has to enter as surely as he knows his own name. But when Tommy's character design fails to win the contest, he finds his world crumbling from all sides. And there is only one way he knows to fix it. What follows is a whirlwind coming-of-age adventure of righting wrongs, overcoming perilous obstacles, confronting our inner demons, and challenging the limits of reality. In this waxing nostalgic and imaginative fantasy, readers will discover what excitement lies waiting when you take risks and conquer your fears. Only one question remains: In the final hour when you heed the call, the courage to give your all, will you stand or fall?"--Publisher's description.

Tommy is finishing elementary school and starting middle school in the 80s. His (former) best friend is now hanging out with someone else. While Tommy is dealing with bullies and his parents marriage falling apart he retreats into his favorite show/comic world.
I enjoyed this story for the most part. I thought it would be more in the fantasy arc but I wasn't disappointed that it was more reality. It was actually the fantasy moments that threw me off. Was he hallucinating or were characters from the show really showing themselves on this universe only to him. It was weird. I didn't mind the "imaginary friend" part of it but the fight scenes were off putting.
I do appreciate that after the climactic moment, everything wasn't suddenly better. There were still problems in Tommys life but he had grown and was able to handle them better.
The other thing that felt off was that Tommy's new friends dad seems to hate his dad but we never know why. This isn't a huge plot point but it does feel dropped a bit. (
