Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Akiko in the Castle of Alia Rellapor marks the final installment in Mark Crilley's interplanetary series. Fourth grader Akiko and her crew at long last make it to the castle where Prince Froptoppit is imprisoned. But unforeseen problems threaten the mission, including a meeting face to face with Alia Rellapor herself (and her secret identity is revealed). Crilley's b&w illustrations, reminiscent of Japanese anime, pepper the pages.

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-5-Akiko concludes her interplanetary search for the lost Prince Frogtoppit, begun in Akiko on the Planet Smoo (2000) and continued in Akiko in the Sprubly Islands (2000) and Akiko and the Great Wall of Trudd (2001, all Delacorte). This book begins right where Trudd concluded. The fourth grader and her eccentric companions-brainy but pompous Mr. Beeba, one-legged adventurer Spuckler, the robot Gax, and flying-disk creature Poog-arrive at the castle where the missing prince is held prisoner. The castle is filled with weird monsters and dangerous traps, which the group must overcome before they meet the mysterious Alia Rellapor, who turns out to be the prince's mother. Under the mindspell of the power-hungry villain Throck, the woman nearly has the companions executed, but, by combining their talents, they escape and rescue both mother and son. The episodic plot reflects the story's roots as a Japanese graphic-novel series. The bickering dialogue among the adventurers is amusing and Akiko herself shows strong leadership in helping them work as a cohesive team. Readers unfamiliar with the previous volumes will find the story confusing, but for those who have followed Akiko and her friends through their whole adventure, this is an acceptable conclusion to the saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun For All Ages!, April 13 2002
By 
Daniel V. Reilly (Upstate New York, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Akiko in the Castle of Alia Rellapor (Hardcover)
The quest for the kidnapped Prince Froptoppit concludes in this volume. The art and writing by Mark Crilley is superb; Very funny moments effortlessly mix with great suspense, The mysterious Throck's secret is revealed, and there's a GREAT twist involving Alia Rellapor. Crilley is improving as a storyteller with each successive book. This one just zooms along!

Fans of the Akiko comics will love this book, and it would make a great read for young fans of Harry Potter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic role model, April 14 2011
By Akiko - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Akiko books by Mark Crilley are partly based on a series of graphic novels he produced a while back. Akiko in the Castle of Alia Rellapor is the last in the first 4 book series. We read the other 3 at the library and couldn't wait for them to get this last one in to find out what happened.

Akiko is a girl of about 10 years of age who learns alot about herself by helping others in a fairly unique setting. She is taken to the Planet Smoo (book 1) to help bring the prince back from this castle. Akiko learns that she has a lot more to give than she expected to lead the team to find the prince. My 7 year old daughter feels she can relate to Akiko who is a "normal" person who is just going to school and parents who work.

There were enough pictures added through the book from Crilley to add to the fun for my daughter as we read it together.

Makes a huge change from fairies and other typical girls stories. I highly recommend it.
