The Isle of the Lost
by Melissa de la Cruz
This book is so cute! What Disney fan doesn't want to see all of their favorite characters coincide and live in the same world? Auradon is your answer!
I have to admit, I almost chose to not finish this book because there are some *gasp!* incorrect Disney facts; stay with me here. At first, I thought it was simply lazy writing, but THEN right before I put it down, a light bulb turned on, and I realized that this story is being told from the perspective of a villain narrator - a villain narrator wouldn't care about getting their facts about heroes, princesses, etc. straight because they're evil and banished to a miserable little island.... Well played, Ms. Author, well played.....
After that, I was really excited for this book again, reread the first part with a new outlook, and couldn't put it down. It's just an overall fun adventure of four teens learning more about who they are versus who they're expected to become.
