Secrets Of Droon #01: The Hidden Stairs And The Magic Carpet

Once upon a time, whenever it was, three kids named Eric, Neil and Julie went down in their basement to get a soccer ball to play a game of soccer--not very interesting yet, eh?

They, for no absolute reason, opened a little room's door--like about the size of a closet perhaps. And they discover a magical stairway that only appears when you shut the tiny room's door. This discovery starts out confusing when they accidentally shut the door on Julie and she say she's falling. And after that she comes back without the ball and they think she got hit on the head by the ball because she's acting kind of wacky. But soon they discover that this was no lie and she didn't get hit on the head by the soccer ball. It was a staircase into the magical world of Droon.

As they descent the magical staircase step by step they know, just know, that only magic and adventure awaits them.

The book was slightly easy for me, but I like having books that I can read quickly. Plus it gets a lot more stuff on this blog and I have to do a blog post one time each week! Anyway, easy and fast to read doesn't mean it wasn't interesting. My favorite part was when they got to the disappearing tower of Galen (hey, there's a boy in my class with that name! ) perhaps because one of the kids slammed into something that wasn't there, if you get what I mean, because that's funny, isn't it? Oh, I slammed into some air! :) It wasn't generally funny, it was interesting, but most books have to have a little bit of humor to be interesting (at least books that have a story in them).

This is the first book in a series and I definitely want to read the next and the next and the next and the next....Of course, I don't like this as much as my super-cool Warriors books, but they are interesting just the same.

Anyway, you've GOT to read it! Ooh, what's in this little room here? Wait a sec, don't shut the-BAM! AAAAAH! (*falls down magical staircase*)

  1. Hi Ian,

    I am so excited to be in touch with your reader response blog and see all of the great reading going on! I do think Secrets of Droon is a bit easy for you-but as we say in class-sometimes it's fun to read some candy. Our goal is to mostly read those "Just Right" books!

    Would it be okay to show your blog to the kids in class??? I think everyone would enjoy seeing this wonderful project and all of the great books you've read! I am impressed and proud of you,

    Thank you Ian!
    Job well done!!

    Thank you for changing the color of the text. It is so much easier for older eyes to see.
