The Knights of Silversnow

My son has read up to book #17 and is never bored with the stories. They are all a little bit different, much like a Harry Potter series for younger kids (my son is 8) with the magic & excitement but not too scary. I have read them all with him and they are even tolerable for parents....not all books can say that!

Ever since he found the Wand of Urik, Eric can't seem to get rid of it. It has always been following him, and now it is in the Upper World with him. Tempted by it, he uses it to stop his best friend Julia from moving away, unaware of the dangers he has just surfaced by using the wand. Soon things start getting really strange in the Upper World, and the three kids Eric, Neal, and Julia immediately seek the help of their Droon friends, Princess Keeah and Max, the spider. They soon realize though that Droon is also in chaos, after a big earthquake, bunches of marmots have invaded the castle. Seeking help, they go to a witch in the woods who tells them that Lord Sparr and his disgusting snake, who are the cause of the earthquakes, are in the land of Goll, getting stronger each day, and searching for a powerful weapon to bring the final blow on Droon. Even worse, it seems Galen, the powerful wizard, has been captured by them. The kids soon learn that the only hope for Droon might lie on Ice Hills, where the three Knights of Silversnow rest, waiting for the day they will be needed to save Droon. So, suddenly summer turns into winter as the kids have another whole new adventure in Droon. A wonderful book for kids just starting to read. Definitely a great fantasy book for all!
