Beast Quest: Garox the Coral Giant – Adam Blade ★★★★

Blurb; Meet the New Protectors! Four young adventurers are joining Tom and Elenna in their Quest to protect their kingdoms against the forces of Evil.

Malvel is back, and the Evil Wizard has raised four deadly new Beasts. To make matters worse, he has cursed Tom into a magical coma and now Tom is powerless to fight Malvel. Miandra, one of the New Protectors, must team up with Prince Rotu to defeat a monster from the sea that’s attacking her own fishing village – but can they fight back against this giant’s poisonous tentacles?

There are FOUR thrilling adventures to collect in the latest set of the bestselling adventure series for boys and girls aged 7 and up – don’t miss out! Kalderon the Iron Bear; Garox the Coral Giant; Draka the Winged Serpent and Lukor the Mountain Demon.

My Review; This is book two in series 29, and they are best read in order. This series follows four novices battling their own beast in order to save their leader Tom. In this story, we meet novice number 2, who has to battle Garox a sea beast. Surely she can save the day and return back to her leader? It’s an intense, long, and difficult battle ahead but one that leads into book three and the next beast and battle. Illustrated throughout, these are perfect for younger readers at just over 100 pages. Brilliant for the imagination. A well-deserved four stars from me.

Sea Keepers: Seal Pup Party – Coral Ripley ★★★★

Blurb; A bumper-length seasonal special set at the Ice Palace Animal Sanctuary! Join the Sea Keepers as they celebrate Christmas in the Arctic with adorable seal pups.

The Sea Keepers return to the North Pole, where the Arctic mermaids have organised a Christmas party for the seal pups at the Ice Palace Animal Sanctuary. But when Effluvia turns up to spoil the fun, it’s up to the Sea Keepers to stop her! Can Emily, Grace and Layla find a magic pearl in time to save the celebration?

My Review; This is book ten in a series, but all can be read as standalones. In this story, it’s Christmas Eve, and the girls are called to help under the sea. It’s a Christmas story. A save the day. After the star gets broken, the girls need to find three things to build a new star to save the Arctic. With the help of many animals along the way, they can surely save the day before Christmas, can’t they? Time is tight. They even get a visit from Santa themselves. A brilliant Christmas adventure, many young readers will enjoy with illustrations throughout. A well-deserved four stars from me.

Beast Quest: Kalderon the Iron Bear – Adam Blade ★★★★

Blurb; Meet the New Protectors! Four young adventurers are joining Tom and Elenna in their Quest to protect their kingdoms against the forces of Evil.

The Evil Wizard Malvel has returned and summoned four deadly new Beasts. Worse still, he has put a magical curse on Tom, leaving him unconscious. Rafe, one of the New Protectors, must team up with Elenna to do battle against a great bear-Beast and find the first healing ingredient to help save Tom.

There are FOUR thrilling adventures to collect in the latest set of the bestselling adventure series for boys and girls aged 7 and up – don’t miss out! Kalderon the Iron Bear; Garox the Coral Giant; Draka the Winged Serpent and Lukor the Mountain Demon.

My Review; Series 29. Book one. Tom is no longer in the game. He’s been poisoned. Enter four new heroes who are on a mission to save Tom. But in order to save him, they must each defeat their first beast and complete their first quest. In this story, we meet Rafe, and he has to defeat the beast Kalderon. It is a rollercoaster of a read as this beast is impossible to defeat. Just when you think he’s down, he gets back up. Can Rafe prove he’s good enough? Save his town? Save Tom? This is part 1 of 4. A gripping read. A well-deserved four stars from me.
