Review: Scorpion's Curse
Scorpion's Curse is another fast-paced and adventure filled story in the Sky Dragon series.
When Amber is asked to help rid a town of a scorpion plague she doesn't hesitate to accept and Amber and Irene are on the next plane to Toroc.
As Amber tries to understand where the scorpions are coming from she finds herself in a life or death situation and time is running out.
Scorpion's Curse is a suspense filled ride as Amber must manoeuvre through a labyrinth of traps chased by the evil Scorpios.
Amber is a fabulous hero for middle graders to admire. She is smart and brave but is not without fear.
The evil money-hungry men from MineCorp make another appearance in Scorpion's Curse this time they have stolen precious artefacts, gold and gems.
Scorpion's Curse is a compelling plot driven adventure with an engaging protagonist and a villain that adds humour as well as suspense.
These
books are an easy read, they flow well and the plot line isn't taxing.
Filled with pages of detailed monochrome comic style illustrations that
add a visual comprehension to the story.
Each book has its own mini story and resolution but I would recommend reading the series in order to get the full picture.
recommended age 8 - 12 years
My rating 5/ 5 🦂🦂🦂🦂🦂
