The Secrets of Droon Special Edition #8: Final Quest ReviewBeing the 44th overall book, 8th special edition volume and final book of the Secrets of Droon series, starting with The Hidden Stairs and the Magic Carpet (Secrets of Droon #1), "The Final Quest" presents a conclusion to the epic started 11 years ago. I started the series when it first came out and loved it immediately. I originally I loved it for its fun plot, characters and premise. It is for these reasons and more that this series has retained my interest and loyalty throughout the 11 years. Abbot's strict adherence to stories with happy endings stay true no matter how dire the situation Droon is in. In the battle of good verse evil that this book and the entire Secret of Droon Series, the good guys always win the day(although not necessarily the book) and the bad guys lose but don't get killed. Tony Abbot knows his audience well enough to know that a truly satisfying conclusion of the series wouldn't end with children saving the day and then saying goodbye to Droon and their childhood alike. Though the book presents a fitting and poignant end to an amazing series, it leaves the reader knowing that though this is the final quest they will read of Droon but the adventures will continue for the character. Abbot even presents a whole new plot line through the book that is testament to the enduring secrets of Droon. This book is a must read for anyone who has read any of the other books of the series or has a love for childhood innocence despite the age.The Secrets of Droon Special Edition #8: Final Quest OverviewAn immortal dragon.A long hidden secret.The kingdom of Droon is at the brink of war. . .

The Isle of Mists (Secrets of Droon, 22) ReviewLord 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.The Isle of Mists (Secrets of Droon, 22) OverviewWith nearly 2 million books in print, this Little Apple series is H-O-T, hot. The SECRET is out - DROON is the series that kids, parents, and teachers are talking about!

Eric, Keeah, and the others are hot on his trail.But they are worried.The Isle of Mists is where Sparr's stepfather, Emperor Ko, mysteriously disappeared.

Tower of the Elf King (Secrets of Droon, 9) ReviewHappiness 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!Tower of the Elf King (Secrets of Droon, 9) OverviewSomebody has robbed the Lumpies' village! And it can't be Lord Sparr - because he has mysteriously disappeared. The rumor is that a terrible beast is behind the crime. So Eric, Julie and Neal setoff with Khan and Princess Keeah to find the creature. Instead they find a big Surprise!

Secrets of Droon Box Set ReviewTony 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.Secrets of Droon Box Set OverviewWatch the magic unfold in books #1-#4 of THE SECRETS OF DROON.Eric and his two friends, Neal and Julie, discover a secret doorway in Eric's basement that leads to the rainbow stairs.The stairs reach down into the wondrous world of Droon - a land where all kinds of amazing things occur.A cast of magical characters appears to guide the kids on their journeys.And one thing is for sure-magical, fantastic adventure is in store!

The Secrets of Droon #4: City in the Clouds ReviewMy (almost 4-year-old) son loves for me to read from this series, and I share his enthusiasm. This creative ongoing saga of three friends -- Eric, Julie, and Neal -- transported to the mysterious world of Droon by a magic staircase, continues to captivate and rivet. If anything, my son's interest has grown rather than waned with each successive book. The author's skillful introduction of colorful characters -- including the princess/junior wizard Keeah, the spider-troll max, and my son's favorite, Khan, king of the purple lumpies -- permits endless role playing after a reading session. Even the villians, Lord Sparr and his red-faced warrior Ninns perched atop their lizard steed groggles, prove menacing without scaring younger readers. Droon fans will enjoy that this edition permits them to finally meet the Viking, King Zello. I strongly encourage these books for young readers and fervently hope that Mr. Abbott sticks with this wonderful endeavor.The Secrets of Droon #4: City in the Clouds OverviewUh-oh! Neal has a problem. He's turned into a bug-again. Eric andJulie hope someone in Droon can help. Princess Keeah thinks theremight be a cure in the City in the Clouds. Too bad the friends only have one day before the city disappears!

Spar stole the jewel which is a glove with a diamond on it from the King. On their journey the three kids meet wizards, monsters and lumpies. The part when the lumpies attacked the fire monsters was the funniest part of the book. If you want to find out if the kids made it or not, read the book.
