This review is from: Newt's World: Beginnings (Paperback)

This book has action, adventure, video games, science fantasy, spies--everything kids love. They won't even realize they are being taught tolerance for those with differences. The hero is a youngster who is in a wheelchair after an accident. He and his buddies defeat evil at every turn. They have developed a video game that somehow begins to bridge the world between fantasy and reality. How cool is that?
