Silver Hill

The Adventures of Jack Brenin #3

by Catherine Cooper

With Nora away on a vitally important mission in Annwn, Jack Brenin has to take sole responsibility for rescuing the last two Dragonettes left on earth from being roasted for a Spriggan feast. Using his trusty Book of Shadows for guidance, and with his friends Camelin the raven and Timmery the bat (along with a cunningly captured Dorysk), Jack mounts a daring raid on the Spriggan stronghold inside Silver Hill.

But his triumphant return is overshadowed by the discovery of a problem in Annwn that is too big for even Nora's magic. Can Jack help the Blessed Council to rescue the sleeping Druids?

Eu gostei muito dessa série de livros. Esse terceiro livro não tem bem uma relação tão direta com a história como o primeiro e o segundo; a única relação é o vilão que aparece no segundo livro.

Eu amo a construção de ambiente de uma cidade de interior que tem relação com um mundo mágico. Acho super fofo a maior parte dos personagens serem animais pequenos.
A personalidade dos personagens me pareceu meio rasa nesse livro. Eles só tinham uma característica marcante e era isso. O Camelim é revoltado, a Nora é sabia, o Jack é certinho... Acredito que a autora focou em desenvolver a história que foi uma aventura bem legal até, apesar de os heróis ficarem indo e vindo para o mesmo lugar varias vezes.
Mas é um livro gostoso de se ler e um universo divertido para se viajar

Another fantastic book in the series.

The adventures of Jack Brennen are books for children. They are the sort of books that Mark Twain understood, entertaining on the surface and deeply subversive underneath. Dragons and bogeymen, and ancient spirits and pagan festivals.
Catherine Cooper's characters are real characters. The good ones are lovable, and the bad ones elicit boos and jeers every time they appear. These are adventures in the realm of faeries and druids, but ending up with lashings of lemonade before bedtime.

Excellent Story for all Fantasy Genre readers! Also a very good reader for kids ages 9 and up! It's written in words for kids but I enjoyed it immensely. I burned through all 3 books in this series in 2 days! It's unique story line, lovable characters, and comedic lines make this a great read for all!

It was ok I was expecting more out of the last book.

Just as much fun as the first two books. Though written for younger readers, Catherine Cooper's books draw me in.

Not as good as the first two books in the series, but still kept my 8 year old very enchanted.

Jack Brennin saves dragons in this cute, little book.

This one really felt like a slog. Not sure if it was me or it - probably me! It was well-done, but it couldn't hold my interest.

Not as gripping as the 1st two but still can't wait for the next one.

We loved the series, both my 9 year old son (at the time) and myself.
A saga of summer school vacations in the country, bullies and how to deal with them, grandfatherly love and bonus a lot of magic adventures and how to build your courage. And the druids. We are in love with this set.
