BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Princess Koko disappeared years ago into the Kidahara - a magical forest outside her kingdom. Now, the evil Prince Ruko has imprisoned the King and Queen and wants to rule the kingdom himself. But when a construction company, hired to tear down the forest, begins to unleash the dangers of the magical world, Jiho, a boy immune to magic signs himself on as a guide - only to discover this is a bigger problem than just tearing down the forest. Jiho will need to team up with some unlikely partners to save the kingdom!
Ellen Oh has given us a fun story with action and adventure, magic and danger all the way through. Jiho, the princess Koko, Micah, the leader of a clan of thieves and ruffians, and the construction workers with Jiho are all teens - an exciting read where the fate of the world is in the hands of the youth. Enough plot for a couple of prequels and a sequel, and so many characters, I was afraid I'd get lost, but I didn't. It all wove together nicely. Wings of Fire readers will enjoy this solid, middle grade stand alone.
