When Artie discovers he is none other than THE King Arthur, brought to life in the 21st century, it’s up to him and his sister to save the REAL Otherworld. In The Dragon King, Artie’s life-changing quest comes to a spectacular close as the young king discovers what it truly means to be a hero.
Picking up where the last two books left off, we find Artie and the
gang have finally reached Avalon. Just when it seems like things are
finally looking up, we find that they're worse off than ever. Not only
has everything gone crazy in Otherworld, but Artie and Kay's home world
as well. Now the kids are left without their guardian adults. It's
fascinating to me just how much they've grown since the beginning.
Though they still battle with fear, they're wiser and braver. They've
learned to take their surroundings in stride and use wit to help them
survive.
In this third book of the Otherworld
Chronicles, things have taken an unlikely turn. Being the last
book of the series, I was expecting everything to be a bit more
predictable and I'm glad I was wrong. I still find myself taking
unlikely twists and turns with my beloved characters. Honestly, I'm sad
to see the ending to this tale. It's quite the fulfilling series and
this last book was the perfect ending, but I still want more. I'm
interested to see what Johnson-Shelton comes up with next.
For
those King Arthur/Holy Grail fans, this is a must-have series for your
collection. Anyone interested in a grand fantasy adventure will have a
blast with these books. For me, they were reminiscent of a much less
complicated Gregory Maguire. The language is simplistic enough for
younger readers to be captivated and pulled into adventure, but the
layering is definitely there. One last note: This would be the perfect
gift set for any young reader or book
collector.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
