The Amulet of Power by Raymond Arroyo - ADVISABLE

The Amulet of Power (Will Wilder #3) by Raymond Arroyo, 280 pages. Yearling (Random House), 2019. $8 (paperback)


Violence: PG (danger, fighting)


BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ADVISABLE


AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE


Will Wilder is getting more comfortable with the relics he is protecting – so comfortable that he uses one to give him strength to excel on the school football team. Perilous Falls is also in trouble, because strange shadow beings are stalking the residents, but only Will can see the creatures. Throw in betrayal being plotted by someone close to Will and you have a recipe for danger, doubt, and self-discovery.


I was a bit disappointed by the third book in this series – especially because I love the first two so much.  Why – because Will becomes so selfish this time around and causes problems by overt choices he makes. It seems to have gone straight to paperback – so at least it is cost effective.
