I bought this for my 13 year old daughter. I want to start by saying she is dyslexic and trying to get her to read anything is a struggle for me. I started her on this book series in hopes that she would enjoy it. I am happy to say that she loves them! In fact as soon as she finishes one she is asking for the next book in the series. Thank you for a wonderful series that draws my child into the magical world of reading!!
I started reading this series to my 5 year old son. This is the second one we've read so far. He really likes these books, enough so that after reading the 1st one, he used his Christmas money to purchase this one & the next 3.The books are full of action and each chapter ends with a cliff hanger. I like the story line, but as a mother, I wish the main character had a little more patience.The storyline is about a boy that receives an ancient amulet from his explorer uncle. The amulet grants the boy one wish, and he wishes for a pet, but the pet he gets is a gold fish stuck between life & death. The boy needs to help the undead goldfish solve a problem so it can move on to the afterlife. The fish is a pushy jerk & I hate the book. So far this is the worst in the series & I've never been more ready to be done with a book.I like that the boy doesn't get exactly what he wished for, and I like that he is assigned to help the "zombie" pets move on to a happy life after death, I just hate how the kid is constantly putting it off because he didn't get what he wanted. He gets too frustrated too quickly with the undead pets and I worry these books are teaching my child to get angry, instead of taking his time to do something right. But, so far these are the only books my son has been truely interested in, beyond short stories & toddler books. We'll keep reading the series for now (since we own 1-5), I'm being hopeful that the boy in the story learns to be more accepting & patient as he learns to deal with these, not so dead animals.
My daughter is obsessed with this series. It's not too gross, definitely age appropriate for a grade schooler.The series all run about the same for reading levels.590LN3
