The Isle of Mists (Secrets of Droon, 22)

Rating:
Summary: One of my favorites so far
Review: Lord Sparr has finally done it. He finally collected the Three Powers of Droon, the Coiled Viper, the Red Eye of Dawn, and the Golden Wasp. Droon could not be in a worse situation. With the Three Powers, Lord Sparr is headed toward the Isle of Mists, a strange eerie island where he is trying to do a magic trick which will spell doom for all of Droon. Not to mention the fact that Sparr's evil stepfather Emperor Ko, who disappeared on the Isle of Mists, could still be alive and well on this island. This spells big trouble for Eric and the gang. Can they somehow outmuster Lord Sparr and save Droon?

This was one of my favorites in the series. Definitely quite entertaining with a few revelations. I definitely recommend parent to get their young children into this series. Its a great hook for young children and I agree a step up from The Magic Treehouse series.

Summary: Great step up...
Review: This series is a great step up from the Magic Treehouse series. I'd have to rate any book a "5" that engages my 2 boys. This series has fostered a true love of reading in my children. They anxiously have awaited each new release-starting grade two....and the oldest is now a 4th grader who still enjoys each of Tony Abbott's Droon series books as they become avail. It's been tougher to find books my boys loved vs my daughter. But Abbott's series is a definate winner with the boys in our house!
