This is a good example of mix between realistic fantisy and science fiction. This is because the characters are people going to a normal school in the United States. It is set in modern day. There is reason to believe the whole way through that Joe may actually be an alien. He talks

about places being in Chicago that do not exist. His parents also refer to your president meaning they are not from the US. It is never made clear where Joe is really from and the flying cake at the beginning seem to suggest outer space and technology beyond our own. The plot was really lacking. It was hard to figure out and had not good conclusion at the end. The beginning did not seem to flow well. Media: Ink and Fill watercolo

So, who is Joe, really? Even at the end his story doesn't make sense. Still, I want to play Wizzle-Fish!! One of the sillier Redpost books.
