Summary: Harry Potter
Review: This book has short chapters, and would be easy to read for the early grade levels. The dialogue between the characters is childlike (though to say that is an insult to children) and full of exclamations like, �Wow� and �Oh, my gosh!� At first I thought the written sound effects, �Blam,� �Swoosh,� and �Yikes!� added to the visualization of the story, but then it just became annoying. I would hope that children would recognize the overly simplistic characters of the �Secrets of Droon� series and I believe that they would become bored with the books.

Summary: A favorite for early readers
Review: Tony Abbott's Droon series engages kids far more than adults. To an adult the simplified, rather wooden language and characters can seem bland and boring. But events move quickly, odd characters proliferate, and a child is introduced to a land with its own geography, history, and rules. This is a great way to introduce an early reader to the pleasures of fantasy. The books increase in length and (slightly) in complexity, rewarding the child who is growing in proficiency. Droon can be a compelling first chapter book series-- my son has read each of 18 or so books at least three times. One note-- the books are easily appropriate for children younger than nine. Most second graders and many first graders will find them accessible.
