Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-9-In this final installment in the trilogy, Corwin (who will become Merlin) follows Nia (the Lady of the Lake) to Atlantis in order to defeat Ma'el, an evil warlock. To succeed, they must find the fabled sword Eikis Calli Werr (Excaliber). Transformation is a quick, easy read. While the tie-in to Arthurian legend isn't made until the epilogue, anyone familiar with this genre of fantasy will see it coming through the broad foreshadowing used throughout the narrative. Characters are shallow but likable and while the suspense and action are a little predictable, the story remains enjoyable. Buy it to hook readers into Arthurian fantasy and then lead them on to meatier fare by T. A. Barron, Jane Yolen, T. H. White, and Stephen R. Lawhead.

From Booklist

Gr. 7-10. In the third and final volume in the Transformation series, teen mermyd Nia, must return from Wales to Atlantis to find a magical sword that is potentially the last hope to save her beloved city from evil tyrant Ma'el. Accompanied by her "dry-lander" friend Corwin, Nia makes the dangerous underwater journey, only to discover that the sword is missing, her people are enslaved, and Ma'el is planning to take over Corwin's Wales. Finding the sword and stopping Ma'el are more perilous than Nia imagined, especially with her future and the fate of Atlantis at stake. Sf and fantasy fans will connect with the likable teen protagonists; descriptive, fast-reading prose; and an exotic, richly detailed, fantastical world that combines elements of Atlantis, alien-earth population theory, and King Arthur legends. Plot devices and obstacles feature Indiana Jones-like thrills, rounded out with hints of romance and a classic good vs. evil struggle. Engrossing, suspenseful, and fun. Shelle Rosenfeld

4.0étoiles sur 5 Pretty Good, Nov. 27 2003
This review is from: Transformation (Paperback)
This is not as great as the first two, but it's still pretty good. If you had any idea at all of Arturian legends, then you would have seen that Corwin was Merlin, and Nia was the Lady of the Lake, but it all tied in nicely in the end. (After you finish this book, I recommend reading The Return of the King by T.H. White if you're still interested in the Arthur legends.)

This book starts where the first book left off, when Nia and Corwin and the little Farworlder were about to go to Atlantis to defeat Ma'el. It's kind of predictable, but it's actually a very fun little book to read. Think about the world play in the sword's name... just to give you a hint.

I would recommend this book to any teenager, but probably girls would like it more than boys would.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best of the series, Sep 26 2003
Par "ursulaf1989" (Van Nuys, California) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Transformation (Paperback)
THis book was exciting and very sad at the end. I like how it was tied into the myth of Arthur, poorly writen, but I liked the tie-in. Not your "cheerup" book, but very good none-the-less.

Par Jessica (California) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Transformation (Paperback)
This is the third book in the Wter Trilogy series. In this book, Nia and corwin set out to once and for all defeat Ma'el and save Atlantis. I liked most to the book, it was very exciting. The one thing I absolutely hated was the ending, It stunk. But other than that, it was really good.
