Good for Everworld...the characters seem to be maturing
These are not normally the types of books I tend to read, but I have to admit I'm enjoying this series. Though there are still things I don't like (too much swearing, too much inuendo, etc) the basic story and the writing are getting better. In this segment of the adventure we have circled back to David so he tells the story as the five kids (David, Christopher, April, Jalil, and Senna) continue their adventure. The story basically picks up right where the last one left off, as they are facing the dragon Nidoggher. He replaces David, Christopher, April and Jalil's hearts with rubies that will keep them alive for no more than six days, and in that time period they have to go and get a few of Nidoggher's things that were stolen by Leprechaens, and then if they succeed he will give them their hearts' back. So, they head in the direction of Fairy Land and along the way meet a nymph, some satyrs and plenty of other interesting characters. This book was somewhat less intense than the previous four, and it was even somewhat lighthearted at times, a welcome change from the depressing direction the earlier books were taking. This one made me truly eager also to read the next one as soon as I can find it, though that should be hard because I live on a cold, miserable Alaskan island where we are lucky even to have a Walmart, much less even a mediocore bookstore. Oh Well. The major cliffhanger remains, what will happen to them in the land of Ka Anor? I have a feeling that Ka Anor and the Hetwan are the real villians and that eventually that will dominate the storyline even more than the current 'will they find their way back to their own universe?' storyline. I'm all for that! I love epic battles. Also in the future I'd like to see Greek mythology explored more and more spotlight on April, who is the most interesting to me so far. David and Christopher are annoying, especially Christopher, and while Jalil is also a fascinating character it's downright scary to know what he's thinking. Especially when they go into so much detail about his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. (shudder) Anyway, this was a really good book, but I wouldn't recommend it to people who havn't read this previous ones first, since otherwise it will make no sense whatsoever. Also, these books are very intense and defenitely not for young children. I'm fifteen and some of it still scares me. I would definitely not recommend them to anyone under 13 or so.

This book is the best!
If you are looking for an exciting and a dangerous adventure, this is the book for you. David, Christopher, April and Jalil have a journey to get Galahad's gold back from some leprechauns who stole the gold. There is only one problem. Sena, another member of the group, is the reason why they can not go back to their homes. I thought this book was interesting because the characters were brave and show respect to each other. The book was well written. The author writes clearly so that the reader can understand the story well. So if you want to find out if the five kids are going to make it back to their home or not, READ THIS BOOK!

They just keep getting better and better..
and Discover the Destroyer doesn't break from tradition. The "Everworlders" plus Senna have six days to get back a dragon's things, but when Senna gets April captured (DELIBERATELY!) it really complicates things. Jalil and David come up with the one possible solution, but Senna stands in the way. And David's the only one who can overrule her. Better than ever, and now David has a whole new dimension.
