[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Magic Islands" by Irene Edwards.]
Megan, Trevor, and Stefan, along with their classmates and under the supervision of their teacher, were engaged in a beach cleanup activity. During their efforts, they stumbled upon some peculiar magical objects, including a conch shell, a green bottle containing a scroll of parchment, a rod, and a black bowl. The appearance of these items sparked their curiosity, leading Stefan and Megan to express a playful wish to learn more about them. To their surprise, they were suddenly transported to the mysterious Magic Islands for an unexpected adventure, leaving Trevor bewildered on the beach. Thus commenced the adventures of Megan and Stefan.
The book offers a multitude of captivating adventures that will surely captivate young readers. Particularly intriguing is Stefan and Megan's journey as they explore the Magic Islands and its inhabitants, all while striving to unravel mysteries and confront malevolent figures like the Purple Wizards and the Witches, who seek to instigate chaos and assert dominance through force. The narrative not only provides entertainment but also imparts valuable lessons about helping others, as evidenced by Megan and Stefan's determination to assist the Magic Islands' people in their time of need.
However, there are certain aspects of the book that I found less appealing. The story introduces a multitude of characters, some of whom appear superfluous, such as Hermes, the Red Wizard, who doesn't seem to contribute significantly to the plot. Additionally, the inclusion of complex vocabulary, like "coronation banquet," "preposterous," and "bewildered," may present challenges for young readers who may require a dictionary's assistance to grasp their meaning.
I rate the book five out of five stars. It is exceptionally well-edited, devoid of grammatical errors, and presents an engaging narrative filled with adventures for children to immerse themselves in as Megan and Stefan navigate the magical islands and unravel the mysteries that await. I wholeheartedly recommend Magic Islands by Irene Edwards to young readers who relish magical tales brimming with adventures.
