This review is from: Back to the Divide (Mass Market Paperback)
After spending the previous summer in a magical world where humans are only a legend, Felix settles in back at home for a nice, normal life with his parents. During his trip to the magical world the previous year, Felix's heart condition had been cured with magic, so he is able to finally engage in the kinds of normal activities he has always dreamed of.But a quiet life is not in the cards for Felix. One day, he is shocked to find his enemy from the magical world, Snakeweed, standing on the front porch. The evil Snakeweed had managed to sneak into the human world. He did not find it to his liking, however, so he sought out Felix to give him the spell to return to his own magical world. As a means to force Felix into giving up the return spell, Snakeweed puts a spell on Felix's parents that turns them into marble statues. Felix soon realizes that he must return to the magical world and enlist his friends' help once again in order to free his parents. BACK TO THE DIVIDE is a fine sequel for readers who enjoyed THE DIVIDE, the first book in the trilogy. I must admit, though, that I was not as entertained by it as I was by the original. Perhaps that is largely because the novelty of the magical world was wearing off. But what bothered me more was that the book seemed to focus on an awful lot of traveling. It felt like Felix and his companions moved back and forth across the magical world a dozen times during the story. I'm sure they didn't, but it felt that way at times. Despite these complaints, I was pleased to see that the fun creatures from THE DIVIDE were back in this sequel, including giant, bird-like, math-obsessed brazzles and evil, shape-shifting sinistroms. Also, in addition to the main quest in the magical world, there was an interesting sub-plot about how the spell that turned Felix's parents to marble was threatening to destroy the entire non-magical world. This added some tension to the story. And, like its predecessor, BACK TO THE DIVIDE has a great cover that is split in the middle. It does not necessarily contribute to the story, but it is a unique feature nonetheless, that might add to the experience of the book for some readers. Overall, for those who enjoyed their first journey across the Divide, I recommend a return trip. Reviewed by: K. Osborn Sullivan

Back and Good as Ever!,
By Erica (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back to the Divide (Hardcover)
This is a great book. Just like the first one it entwines adventure and comedy to make a terrific story. The sequal is just as good as the first and Felix's adventures are never ending fun. I can't wait for her to publish the next book in this series and want desperately to know what happens when Betony and Felix are reunited to continue affairs in both thier worlds......

Not quite happily over after yet?,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Back to the Divide (Hardcover)
In the first book we know Felix goes back and lives happily with his family. But we also know Snake Weed is there too. So Snake Weed turns Felix's happy family in to marble. And could just turning two people to stone effect the whole world? Now Felix must once again cross the divide. And Felix discovers that the magical world is in danger too. Many twists in this story happen. And wait till you meet the new member of this story and her name is......Fuzzy.

Back to the Divide,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Back to the Divide (Hardcover)
Back to the DivideElizabeth Kay This book is about a boy named Felix and how he has to go to another dimension to save its people. He is not alone however. His friends Betony, Ironclaw, and Thornbeak are by his side. They have to stop Fleabane from taking over. But an old enemy or two might return. In this book Felix realizes that you have to face your problems head on no matter what they might be. In this book about griffins, elves, and other mythological creatures, anything can happen. Anything from finding a magic carpet, to out smarting a Sphinx. This is a good book for sixth graders. It is the second book in the Divide series. Personally I loved the book. It has adventure, action, and it is a good book to get stuck in. This book is an adventure from the first page and the adventure doesn't stop. This was one of the best books I have ever read. Anyone that liked The Divide will love this book. It picks right up from where the first book stops. I recommend this book for fifth to eighth graders. |
