Book Review: Super Series Keeps Improving!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is sheer pleasure. But if you're unfamiliar with Tony Abbott's magical realm of Droon, DON'T START HERE! The Sleeping Giant of Goll is our intrepid trio's sixth action-filled travelogue down the MAGIC STAIRCASE. Young readers, as well as those you read to, should accompany Eric, Julie, and Neal through each adventure in order, making fantastic friends (here, the furry Oobja), avoiding fearsome foes (such as the resurrected colossus, Zor), and learning Droon's mystical lore. Unlike some chapter books, each Droon visit surpasses its predecessor. Rather than repeating a simple formula, the author weaves a rich and intricate web from one book to the next. Abbott consistently rewards frequent readers with subtle linkage to preceding events, just as he tantalizes with insight into unsolved riddles and future challenges. I marvel at Mr. Abbott's discipline in encouraging teamwork and maintaining gender neutrality -- Droon's Princess Keeah and the upper-world's Julie share responsibility (for both success and failure) with Eric and Neal; similarly, both of Princess Keeah's parents, King Zello the Viking and the shape-shifting Queen Relna, willingly stand alone toe-to-toe against the evil sorcerer Lord Sparr. My son cannot wait for more wisdom from the wizard Gaelen, adventure with the spider-troll Max, or pursuit from Ninns upon winged-groggles, and he's right. I look forward to number 7 -- the Secrets of Droon is about as good as it gets!
Summary of The Sleeping Giant Of Goll (The Secrets Of Droon #6)
Lord Sparr has found a new weapon to use against the city of Droon. He's woken up a mean old giant that will now obey his every command! It's a good thing Eric, Julie, and Neal are around to help their friends try to stop Lord Sparr. It's a giant job, but somebody's got to do it!Literature Books
