The Tower of the Elf King

My daughter is in the 4th grade. She is hooked on the entire Droon series. I wouldn't recommend these for younger children unless they are above average readers. Droon is a magical world full of adventure and mystery.

I read the Tower of the Elf King by Tony Abbott. I would rate the book a four. I liked that the book went into a different worlds. The book was interesting because there were weird creatures that you could only imagine. The book made you look at life in a diffrent way. I would recommend the book to everyone.

Eric, Julie and Neal all dreamed about very weird things, which could only be from one place, Droon. Droon was the magical world they had found, and the secret entrance happened to be in Eric's basement! When they get there, there's a rumor flying around that someone's robbed the Lumpie's village! Eric, Julie, Neal and Princess Keeah must find the culprit, but do they? This book was absolutely spectacular! Read the TOWER of the ELF KING!

I liked this book because it is funny. My favrorite character is the Lumpies because in book #2 Neal thought the Lumpies were pillows. Phew, Eric didn't dream of banging a garbage can. Neal didn't dream of sitting in the middle of a pizza and eating his way out to the crust. I loved reading this book because it is really good. I wonder what Keeah's mother will be in the next book. This is my favrorite Secrets of Droon so far I think I will like #10. Secrets of Droon is my favrorite kind of book. I would recommend this book to you. If you get this book you should get #1 because the stories connect. All of the books are good. They all have a happy ending. You should get all of the Secret of Droons.

Happiness 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!
