It’s a world where magic, or something like it, is possible. But the hole in the basement floor proves to be a portal to another world-and it’s a one-way trip.Ĭole arrives in the Outskirts. His plan is just to find out where the kids are being taken, so he can report back to the police. Cole manages to hide until everybody has gone down the hole, wondering how anyone could think of getting away with kidnapping so many kids at once. But the basement is already nearly full of caged kids waiting to be forced down a ladder in the floor. When Cole and his sixth-grader friends troop down the basement steps to view a spooky Halloween house of horrors, they’re more worried about whether they’re too old to go trick-or-treating than about being kidnapped.
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S.Purchase here. Review: The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. I have a feeling that the Mira will be fleshed out more in the next stories. Mull gives Mira the ability to "shape," so she can create special weapons or objects like jumping swords and golden ropes. This is where some of the magical qualities of the book come into play. Mira has the power to shape things to resemble living things or renderings of non living things. Mira was the most elusive, her story hasn't been fully explained yet. I found Jace's character to be the most interesting, he's strong and confident and puts people in their place. It's here that Cole meets Mira and Jace, each with their own mysteries to hide. On the Brink the Sky Raiders try to take treasures from floating castles. Soon after coming to The Outskirts, Cole ends up a slave himself and is sold to a group of Sky Raiders. Cole makes the choice to go after his friends, I mean he didn't really have to, but he feels responsible for them ending up getting captured. I liked Cole's qualities as the hero of the story, brave and at the same time somewhat reckless. The Five Kingdoms begins as Cole's journey to find his friends within The Outskirts.
