Weird butterfly effect situation

This was one of the most confusing books in the series yet. I must have missed the explanation for all the magical elements. The overall plot was good. I seemed like things were happening super quickly and out of no where

- I’m glad they addressed the role of bringing the bird from droon
- Sparr is disappearing/hiding
- Ko has a submarine to attack the city from below
- Sparr doesn’t really remember anything. Kids recapped what they knew
- Sparr knows people recognize and hate the older him so he feels he will sabotage the mission
- Present to the queen? Ninns present the cookie jar
- Queen changed from bubblegum-like to a dementor-like just because she found out they are upper worlders
- Sparr and a duplicate(???) saved the ninns
- Gethwing is coming for them now that they battled bazra
- Eric has silver sparks again? I thought he had blue
- Lots of mentions of sword of jaffa. What does it do?
- The bird was supposed to go to the upper world and the cookie jar was supposed to go to droon. Why??
- Sparr can split himself at will?
- The jar would have kept the door open between worlds???
- Two hours later? So droon does have time more than just “sunset” or “dusk”
- Map of the underland that ko will bring back to life
- Finally take the cookies to the new neighbors. Someone was listening to them. Also, who gave the bird to Eric in the first place

Everyone went to the treasure queen's castle to try to find Ko's old lighting-powered submarine. Even Ko's evil minion, Gethwing! Eventually the kids get the submarine and escape, well, kind of......

In this episode, the kids are faced with the challenge of accepting someone who was once their worst enemy and now wants to be their friend. I like the way the author explores this difficult topic and all the feelings that are stirred up in this situation. It’s a great, thought-provoking story.

Wow The world of Droon took a big turn, Some for the good others maybe not so good. Sparr is new again. This is a good read. But please read these books in order or some parts will not mean much. A great series.

I love the huge plot twist that has happened here in the middle of the series - it has really shaken things up. Eric, Julie, Neal, Keeah and friends head back to a familiar place to try to stop the evil Emperor Ko.

This is when it all gets real. SASSY SPARR is the best!!!!

[Tripp Kastroll · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was really awesome. The adventures in the book were amazing because I really like adventure booms and movies. I’m looking forward to reading more about adventures in Droon.

I've decided to read The Secrets of Droon series entirely for Christmas since i've been feeling a bit nostalgic. I want to be able to live a bit of the magic of being a kid and what beeter to help than this incredible series. I know that this series is for young kids but i feel it will still be great after all these years.
This book was an interesting one. There are many new villains but tge gang now has the help of young Sparr. Together they were able to stop the villains. It was an exciting, different and friendship filled adventure.

[Kirsten Simkiss · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one you can read out of order and still enjoy it. Obviously, things carried over from previous books, but it does a good job of explaining what was happening. Provided you read at least the first book maybe some in the middle of the series, you'd probably do well. This one takes place after Sparr has been turned back into a child.

As always, the world is very inventive. Perhaps not as inventive as some of the other books, but it's always fun to see a pretty-in-pink ruler go from happy and plump to horrifying and wraith-like.

I like this book because of the danger and Sparr turns young.

[z.diddy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was better than some of the other Droon books because there lightning-powered submarine. They find it in the treasure Queen's fortress.

I enjoyed the different view of Spar in this book. It was a fun twist. I'm interested to see how his story line will play out now.
