Customer Reviews

I liked this book a lot!
It isn't exactly like the other Droon books. Most of them are about going into another world, but this book is about going into the past of Earth.

My favorite part was when a goblin was asking a boy what the magic words were. The boy said that his mommy taught him that: "Please" and "Thank you"!

If you liked the other Droon books, than this special edition is about the same characters. I think that you'll really like it!

the magic escapes
I liked this book because the fat dragon Jabbo's first appearance was in this book. An evil sorceress(I don't want to tell you her name.)planned to take over the world! Eric,
Neal, Julie, Keeah, Max the spider troll and Jabbo have to
stop her! A very good book. (I am 6 years old).

the point also escapes me
My son likes the Magic Tree House book series and for some reason, on his last visit to the school library, this book was recommended to him... now, i'm not the kind of dad who's immediately opposed to a book based on the cover (though it looks like a cheap Harry Potter knock-off), and i'm not afraid of books about magic and things of that nature...

that said, i did decide to read the book before sharing it with little boy and found the book to be incredibly pointless... though i wouldn't recommend judging books by their covers, i do have to admit that this book seemingly lived up to my initial assessment based on the cover art... i haven't read any of the Harry Potter series, i imagine that those books are everything that this book would like to be, but isn't... the only message i could ascertain from the book was something about being able to do anything when you do it with your friends... the story itself was fairly bland overall with just a few interesting moments that were never fully developed... i suppose you could write that off because it's part of a series, but i just wasn't impressed at all and have no interest in the rest of the series...
