Having recently returned from their journey to Thatchwych in book one of the Sir Seth Thistlethwaite series, Mighty Knights Sir Seth and Sir Ollie are doing some well-deserved relaxing on a raft in the local pond. That’s when they notice the water level is suspiciously low. And there’s a strange bubbling coming from the pond, too. Could it be a sea serpent? A strange spell? Or is someone stealing the water? What follows is the second animated, alliterative adventure for this knightly duo, which takes the boys underground to the Queendom of Claire. Claire, they discover, has a much bigger problem than just a leaky waterhole. It is being held hostage by the evil Ooz and his dino Grak; they have blocked off the only river in the realm and, unless Ooz is named ruler of the land, Claire will go bone-dry. Our Mighty Knights leap into action, but is this queendom due to become a kingdom? With their new ally, the impulsive princess of Claire, Sundra Neeth, looking like she may play right into Ooz’s hands, it just might.
The potential strength of this presentation would be as a read-aloud to grade-schoolers, who would, no doubt, enjoy the difficulties the adult reader would encounter, wading through all the wacky words.
Fast-paced and fun...the highly imaginative plot will hold everyone's attention.
Many examples of sidesplitting double entendres, puns, alliterations, and other forms of creative, wacky wordcraft stud this magical adventure series, along with undying humor.
...a fun story and would work well as a read-aloud or for students who are strong in the field of Language Arts.
