My father and I just finished rereading Eight Days of Luke by Diana Wynne Jones

My father and I just finished rereading Eight Days of Luke by the great Diana Wynne Jones, Mistress of the Multiverse and Lady of Endless Surprises.

What can I possibly say about a book when almost everything I can think of would constitute a major spoiler?! Merely this: be careful when uttering gibberish curses because you just might find yourself fighting flaming snakes bursting from the earth alongside a strange boy who can be afterward summoned by the lighting of a match. This is the story of David and the eight days that changed his life forever. 

A story which, though written in simple language, shows the imaginative genius and cunning of Diana Wynne Jones. It was an utter joy reading again, catching all that we missed the first time (which was basically everything).
