Tower of the Elf King (Secrets of Droon, 9)

Rating:
Summary: My favorite Droon book so far!
Review: Eric, Julie and Neal all dreamed about very weird things, which could only be from one place, Droon. Droon was the magical world they had found, and the secret entrance happened to be in Eric's basement! When they get there, there's a rumor flying around that someone's robbed the Lumpie's village! Eric, Julie, Neal and Princess Keeah must find the culprit, but do they? This book was absolutely spectacular! Read the TOWER of the ELF KING!

Summary: My favrorite Lumpie book
Review: Happiness and joy descended upon our household when the most recent Droon installment arrived. While my son and I are avid consumers of serial chapter books, the Secrets of Droon remains our favorite. Fortunately, number 9, which introduces a huge plot twist, did not disappoint. For the first eight installments, the bold young adventurers from the upper world -- Eric, Julie, and Neal -- have teamed with the Junior Wizard, Princess Keeah of Droon, to reign in the evil aspirations of the dastardly Lord Sparr. In The Tower of the Elf King, however, Lord Sparr is notably absent, and our young friends confront a new, surprisingly complicated foe, Gryndl. In addition to Gryndl, plus some old friends (particularly Kahn, King of the Purple Lumpies -- long my son's favorite), our friends meet The Maker, whose inventions feature prominently in the story line. Experienced Droon readers will be pleased to learn more of the illusive, shape-shifting Queen Relna, at the same time remaining wary of Sparr's eventual return. Once again, it's refreshing that the author does not weigh down the narrative rehashing prior adventures, but, for this reason, it's probably best to begin with the first book in the series. Once your kids begin, it won't be long before they'll be joining us in anticipation of the tenth installment!

Review: I read the Tower of the Elf King by Tony Abbott. I would rate the book a four. I liked that the book went into a different worlds. The book was interesting because there were weird creatures that you could only imagine. The book made you look at life in a diffrent way. I would recommend the book to everyone.

Summary: Not worth your time
Review: This book is uninspired pap with undifferentiated characters and poor plotting involving deus ex machina. It intends to be humorous but isn't. I recommend Deltora Quest instead.
