review 1: #1. This book is meant for elementary school aged children...adults who read this and all other children's books should probably remember who the target audience is while reading it and reviewing it. #2. It is a fantasy based story that is primarily meant to entertain the child reader.#3. This tiny book is a great little aid in the social studies department. We read it after reading a real book on Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America. Absolutely wonderful and memorable.#4. My child---the target audience---really liked this book and so we will happily continue with the series.
review 2: Notions of time travel in this book are absolutely ridiculous. The heroes have to "catch up" to the cat pirates and get to medieval Spain a day later than the... morem. What? Why not go back in time to before the cats get there and kick their asses? There's a lot of silliness that I suppose kids would like, but that doesn't really add to the plot. I was hoping that the graphic novels would improve on the books (as the Goosebumps graphics novels do), but it's the same mass-marketed, cheap thrills kind of monkeyshines that the the books offer. I suppose they're worth adding to a collection because G.S. is insanely popular, but I may be losing a bit of my soul for doing so. Sigh. less
