Book Reviews of The Golden Wasp (Secrets of Droon, 8)
Book Review: Beware: Droon Invades the Upper World!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whew! Not only has the latest installment in the Secrets of Droon series arrived, but it's a winner. My son is delighted (and when he's happy, I'm happy). As we feared at the conclusion of the Land of the Lost, Eric's dad's disappearance was merely the tip of the iceberg. Alas, for the first time, an inhabitant of Droon has invaded the upper world! (If this makes no sense, it's best that you begin with The Hidden Stairs and the Magic Carpet. You'll need to meet Eric, whose basement leads to Droon, and his stalwart friends Julie and Neal. This intrepid trio teams with Princess Keeah, a junior wizard tutored by the master, Gaelen Longbeard, to foil the dastardly desires of the evil Lord Sparr. Sure, you can figure out how Max, the spider troll, and the warrior Ninns fit in without starting at the beginning, but why spoil the fun? ) For loyal followers of this parallel universe saga, book number eight offers a huge payoff. This is the longest Droon tale yet - where the prior episodes are in the 80- and 90-page range, here Tony Abbott breaks through the 100-page barrier. (My son, transfixed by the tale's momentum, never noticed that my voice started to fade as I read for more than an hour straight.) Moreover, the author brings together many rarely seen (but sorely missed) characters from earlier stories. Ensnared in Lord Sparr's evil scheme are King Zello (Princess Keeah's father), Batamogi (the furry Oobja monarch), and my son's favorite, the pillow-shaped Kahn (liege of the purple lumpies). Even the elusive, shape-shifting Queen Relna, last seen battling the Sleeping Giant of Goll, returns in spirit. The action moves at a steady clip and the author skillfully makes this book feel as fresh as the first in the series. Now my son must wait for the next book about Droon. It's a shame time moves so slowly here in the upper world....
