zbmorgan 's review for:
Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King
by Laura Geringer, William Joyce
William Joyce, the imaginative creator of George Shrinks and Rolie Polie Olie, has decided to try his hand at chapter books. The result is a very appealing (to both genders) swashbuckling adventure with lovely illustrations. Yes, the Nicholas in the book is going to someday be Santa Clause, but that's really only hinted at. While there could have been a bit more character development in the 3 main characters, the plot is great, and Joyce never dumbs it down - he uses some huge vocabulary, but its approachable in context. My 8 year old cannot wait to get the sequel.
