Gr 2-4-In these three tales by Tony Abbott (all Scholastic), Julie, Neil, and Eric enter the underground world of Droon through a secret portal in Eric's basement stairs. In City in the Clouds, the three friends rejoin Princess Keeah, a wizard in training, in Droon. They are taken to the City in the Clouds to find a cure for Neal, who has turned into a bug. They also learn more about the evil Lord Sparr's plot to take over Droon. The trio return to Droon in The Great Ice Battle to try to unfreeze the City of Jaffa which Lord Sparr has turned to ice. In The Sleeping Giant of Goll, the friends battle a giant who is under Lord Sparr's spell. They are able to put an end to the mechanical giant by creating a dust storm. The plots are fast moving and they fit neatly together, but each tale can be understood without having read or listened to the previous books. Narrator Oliver Wyman creates a number of different voices for the characters. This series will serve as a stepping stone for young fantasy fans who have outgrown Dragon Tales but aren't yet ready for Harry Potter or The Chronicles of Narnia.-Cynthia Grabke, Thayer Public Library, Braintree, MA (c) Copyright 2010.
