- The chapter names are fun.
- The story happens a few weeks after the first one ends.
- The "no pixies were hurt in the making of this book" bit at the front made me laugh.
- The wit and banter is really funny.
- All the stuff I liked in the first book are in this one. (Examples: Author talking to the reader, Illustrations, and Humor)
- I like that Elliot missed his family while he was away. His family is far from perfect, but it is his, and he missed them.
- Fun characters and fun story.
- This is another great read for younger audiences!

Loved this second book in the Underworld Chronicles! I highly recommend reading it out loud. Why? If you enjoy doing accents, there are two characters, a pixie and a fairy who happen to love a tv show called Surfer Girl, and you guessed it, they are "like totally cool." Way!
Elliot is a loveable 11 year old human boy who also happens to be crowned King of the Brownies. When he and his former bully are kidnapped by the Pixies, Elliot has to find a way to free himself and his friend. What's the price? He must get a certain item from an evil demon named Kovol. When the fairies find out about this they have their own demands. What follows is a fun, adventurous, funny journey through the underworld with shadowmen, pixies, fairies, brownies, and one scary demon.
Love these smartly written books that are perfect for kids aged 9 and up. Also love the fact that these books are intelligent and don't rely on a lot of potty humor. Excited to read the third book in the series!

These are such fun books! Jennifer A. Nielsen keeps the narrative humorous, and Elliot is so likable. The comic danger keeps readers at the edge of their seats. I am looking forward to more adventures with Elliot.
