Miyuki Miyabe is fast becoming my favourite author, with a fine way of combining fantasy and real-world elements in a story and making the result thoroughly believable. And entertaining! This one enthralled my 11-year old girl and me equally (in the English-language version, but the story's the same) as we follow the very ordinary 11yo hero into the imaginary land called Vision, where he has to unravel cryptic clues, fight monsters, compete with a school rival on the same quest, make friends and gradually get to the Tower of Destiny in order to change his future. Go for it - it's enthralling!
