Good, quick read. Maddie has me reading all the "Droon" series - good kids series.

I can see the appeal with this book- good read-aloud for parents, since the chapters are fairly short, the characters are enjoyable, and you could stop after one or go straight through the series. Written at exactly the right level for early chapter readers.

While the first couple of books are pretty abysmal, I have to say the plotting on the Droon books gets more interesting by this one. Eric, at least, is becoming a more realized character, and the archnemesis relationship with Lord Sparr is really developing (Julie and Neal continue to have all the personality of a couple of brooms). The writing is still really dull. I feel like the humor is pretty tedious, but it kills with my 5-year old, so I suppose he knows his audience. I am starting to become interested in Keeah's story; I hope that continues to develop. I'm sure we will keep reading the series - they are a good way to satisfy my son's fantasy itch while he waits to become old enough for Harry Potter.

In this book, the meaning of the word Ice learned by Lord Sparr in the previous episode gets established.
He curses Jaffa City to become icy so that he can freeze everything including the wolves that are guarding the amulet of zor.
Lord Sparr inspite of the resistance shown by the kids, manages to apprehend the amulet and learns the location in Jaffa city where Zor rests. Zor is a giant who was once defeated by Queen Relna.
Princess Keeyah was able to finally communicate with her mother who is in the form of a falcon. She also helps her realize her potential in terms of magic, but unfortunately the time for being a falcon is up for the queen and she is soon to take a new form.

I'm surprised they didn't use salt to melt the ice. Instead, it was magical sugar. Definitely a fun, short kid's book.
