Reviews
A review from my old blog (covers the whole series)... I have to say that I was rather disappointed with the series. I guess it comes from reading a ton of other books written in the same era and written poorly. While these books were not written poorly neither did they sparkle and entertain. I almost know the end outcome of the books before I read more than a few chapters. Avi also dragged the plot of the books down with too many extraneous characters and subplot lines. For a children's book I had trouble keeping track of who was good and on the side of the main characters and who wasn't. The book is decent and would most likely give a child a sense of accomplishment for reading a 415 page book (the second in the series). I probably would not recommend it or assign the books for students.
