That is not what you will find in this book.
One of the greatest children books ever written, but still a children's book.ĭon't go into this book expected complicated romantic plots or gore. This book is not written for teenaged and young adults, this is a children's book. I could forget for a little bit about the world around me and for that I can only commend Brandon Mull with every word I can think of.Īs a young adult reading this, there are flaws.
I was drawing in fog while a horse trotted slowly beneath me. I was flying over buildings holding a jumping sword as slavers chased after me. That is what a story should do! I closed my eyes while reading this story and I emerged in the kingdom of Elloweer (which I couldnt stop calling halloween, by the way). His story was full of dreams from my childhood and plot twists that left me wailing at my roommate until she yelled at me. The first story gave me new hope and since then I have been waiting for the sequel with baited breath.īrandon Mull's writing was beautiful. Brandon mull was one of the people who raised me to be an author and one of the only people who I thought encouraged my daydreams. When I first saw sky raider, the first book in this series, I was apprehensive. I tried his other series but was sadly disappointed. With the magic of the Outskirts starting to unravel, it’s up to Cole and an unusual girl named Mira to rescue his friends, set things right in the Outskirts, and hopefully find his way back home…before his existence is forgotten.I thought that Brandon Mull was done when Fablehaven ended. Some find their way there from our world, or from other worlds.Īnd once you come to the Outskirts, it’s very hard to leave. The Outskirts are made up of five kingdoms that lie between wakefulness and dreaming, reality and imagination, life and death. But when a spooky haunted house turns out to be a portal to something much creepier, Cole finds himself on an adventure on a whole different level.Īfter Cole sees his friends whisked away to some mysterious place underneath the haunted house, he dives in after them-and ends up in The Outskirts. Come and claim it in this first book of the Five Kingdoms series, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fablehaven and Beyonders series.Ĭole Randolph was just trying to have a fun time with his friends on Halloween (and maybe get to know Jenna Hunt a little better). In a world that lies between reality and imagination, a “fanciful, action-packed adventure” awaits ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).
