Horn Book

In the last two legs of their quest for the six Badger Crowns, hedgehogs Trundle and Esmeralda find themselves staging an opera along their journey (Sargasso) and seeking a hidden island while evading pirates (Full Circle). These late installments deliver a sparkly and satisfying conclusion, though some recurring illogic would make them a confusing entry point. Black-and-white illustrations underscore the almost-steampunk feel.

Allan Jones and Gary Chalk have created a magical steampunk world for their illustrated The Six Crowns books. In the Sundered Lands, animals talk, ships fly, and a set of ancient blocks can be used to tell fortunes.

Hedgehogs Trundle Boldoak and Princess Esmerelda and squirrel Jack Nimble continue their quest in Sargasso Skies, the fifth book in the series. To find the Crown of Wood, they’ll have to navigate a treacherous skyreef. And they’ll have to elude Captain Grizzlewald, a hog who leads a band of bloodthirsty pirates and is desperate to find the crowns of the Badger Lords himself.

The Six Crowns books, a funny fantasy-adventure series for tweens, will appeal to fans of the Geronimo Stilton and the Kingdom of Fantasy books.
