Creta the winged terror5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() I don't paraphrase one character too wildly when I make him say 'There's a place you might have to go to for the only way to help, but it might not exist at all either - never mind, I'll wizard you right to it, and get you wizarded back the very instant you've finished your hero-with-no-outside-help business'. There's a commendable novelty to the circumstance of the plagued community, before it descends into token, monster-of-the-week formula. Still, this volume, a double-issue bumper tome to accompany series six, is better by far than the other one I sampled recently, when issued for World Books Day. Is it the cards the makers are selling, in all honesty? I still don't feel happy it is forty-three books long and rising, all with gaming cards included. ![]() I still have a quibble about this franchise. ![]() Can Tom, recognising yet another threat to his country from the evil Malvel, defeat his nemesis yet again - especially as said baddie has as a new weapon of darkness a massive host of the roaches, swarming as one giant monster? What's more, the whole land of Avantia is suffering some form of horrid heatwave. Our hero, Tom, is finding his fishing trip with his father bugged - literally - by a plague of sickening cockroach things. Summary: A decent light fantasy read for the reluctant reader, with a good insectoid nasty. ![]()
