What a wild ride!!! I am not normally a series reader, but there is a reason that I keep reading these books: they are fantastic! The stories are great for fantasy adventure fans, especially kids who like their fantasy a little bit scary. Though they are long in terms of page count, the pages absolutely fly by, in part because of the smaller trim size and in part because of all the twists and turns of the plot.
This third book had just the right amount of backstory that reminded me of what happened in the second book without bogging down the action for those who haven't had to wait a year to find out what happened next (although I would not say that this volume can stand alone; you'll want to read the first and second books first). This installment wraps up this book's story while leaving tons of room to be excited about what's going to happen next.
I have been booktalking the first Thickety book to 5th & 6th graders this month, so it's made me even more excited to read this one and it definitely lived up to its promise!!
