Title: Delightful!
Review: What a delightful book! The boy, Haroun, has a father who is a professional storyteller (the Shah of Blah). His father loses his ability to tell stories when his wife runs off with the dry civil servant upstairs. Haroun eventually travels to the moon of stories where he finds he must help save the princess and the Ocean of the Streams of Story, both threatened by the evil cultmaster of silence. Lots of wordplay and reflection on storytelling in general. Sort of an adult Phantom Toll Booth. Not very suspenseful, but lots of fun. Appropriate for ages 10 and up.
