Reviews

[Sally · Rating 2 out of 5]

This Demon Slayer series does need to be read in order.
It is visual and hopefully attracted reluctant readers.

[Lynn · Rating 2 out of 5]

For grades 2-7, good for kids looking for something 'scary.' Easy, short chapter book with illustrations throughout. Lots of action/adventure and a bit of a mystery. Not for me, but I can see where students would find this appealing. The plot is a son trying to save his mother. Not so much of a stand alone, need the other books in the series to really get into the story.
