Squeaky-Clean Role-Playing and Other Whatnot discussion

Man, do I like this series.

To put forth a possible starting topic (in case it's needed), I did NOT see the whole Hector Thumps business coming. At. All.

I've read all of the books except for The Ruins of Alder. I'll read it as soon as I get done with The Hobbit.

Update: I'm working on both The Hobbit and The Ruins of Alder. I'm reading TH aloud with my family (I'm narrator!), and I'm reading TRoA by myself. Less than one hundred pages to go!

I finished it a few days ago.

Y'know, while this series was written for younger kids, the wit and drama and deeper aspects and elements of the story make it a worthwhile read, at least to me. One thing that's great about it is that it's really clean, too. Another thing is that the plot twists were enough to make me look up from the book and, I think one or two times, gasp--out loud. The books get better as the series goes on, in my opinion, so any doubters may find a little patience just might pay off. But that's just my opinion.

All in all, I found it to be quite enjoyable and highly recommend it.
