The Shadow Spies by Nykko - OPTIONAL


The Shadow Spies (The ElseWhere Chronicles #2) by Nykko, :  48 pgs. Graphic Universe, 2009. $27 GRAPHIC NOVEL.

Content - G

Picking right up from Book 1, where Rebecca and Max are trapped in another world, Theo and Noah have figured out how to go through the same portal to save them. The only problem is that they also become trapped in this new world. Meanwhile Rebecca and Max with the help of Norgavol and Illvanna, follow a map that Rebecca's grandfather had created to lead them to a portal to return back to Earth. Along the way, they must battle the shadow spies, who are enslaved to the Master of Shadows.

The shadow spies remind me of the demontors from Harry Potter. Eventually Rebecca and Max meet up with Theo and Noah, but are still not any closer to getting home. I found Book 2 easier to read and follow than Book 1. Although the ending is supposed to be a cliff hanger, I was not that motivated to read the third book.
