When wobbit Promo Bunkins inherits a magic ring from his Uncle Bulbo, he has no idea that it is actually the most sought-after piece of stolen merchandise in Little Earth. He soon finds himself on a dangerous quest to destroy the ring in the dread Crotch Of Doom. Smoron, the ring's owner, has sent killer trees, Barry Wights, giant squid, and Charcoal Grey Riders to stop him. Will Promo survive, even with five elite bodyguards and three Wobbit decoys? If you've ever wondered why Elrond didn't just have an eagle carry the Ring to Mt. Doom, you'll love The Superfriends Of The Ring.
The 8th grader is really enjoying this series...if not for the silly story for the characters names and places. Fun, fun parody. ...and who couldn't use more Lord of the Rings!?!
As parodies go this one is at the top of the game especially for a sequel. Keeping fairly true to the original books it flows very well. The characters are fun and well thought out. I really hope he continues to the next two books. I feel these books pay a fine tribute to Tolkien. Everyone should read these and enjoy them.
