This a great series! My daughter is 8 and loves the adventure and characters. She joined the authors fan club and they sent her autographed book plates for free. I would recommend this for kids are 8-13. I think they are equally good for both girls and boys.
I was at a disadvantage not having read the first three of the Jaguar Stones books, however Voelkel did an expert job pulling me into the story and any unfamiliar elements did not detract from the novel.I received the ARC book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.The start of the book was fast paced, pulling me in immediately, as the threat was clearly defined. But then I ran into a wall—becoming lost in a myriad of names—too exhaustive to keep track. Since the majority of the characters mentioned by name in the first scene never showed their unearthly faces again, I was curious why the author felt compelled to compile a detailed and exhausting list.Unfortunately, the tendency of verbosity continued—seemingly endless pages of every person, every character that I could only assume was a summary for the benefit of fans. These endless lists were like tar pits on the roadway of the story—bogging down the pace to a mere crawl. To get back on track I found myself skimming and flipping page after page in order to get back to the meat of the story.The characters were well defined, though I didn’t feel an emotional connection. There were little if any true risks involved for the main characters, that their trials were no more intense than waking across a room. When they needed a ride, it was provided. An escape, it was revealed. They required very little effort to get past obviously dangerous obstacles. In all, these odd scenes (the space ship, the ‘hippies’, the ghost coach) lacked the connective thread tying them together.I can only assume that some elements were merely bits of ghostly memories from the first three books and the author included them as a humorous and familiar souvenir to her fans.Overall, the book was entertaining though not dynamically compelling and the quirky bits of absurd humor thrown in is just the kind of read many kids would enjoy.
This is a great book! There has to be another one! I would recommend this book for girls and boys ages 9-12! Read this book!By Elsa H. Age 10
