The Curse of the Romany wolves is an action packed sequel to The Daring Adventures Of Penhaligon Brush which was the beginning of an adventurous tale following Penhaligon and his friends. In the first story by S. Jones Rogan, Penhaligon was able to save his village and his friends from the torment of Sir Derek. In this tale Penhaligon is called upon once again to save on of his pals from the curse of Romany Wolves, which is a disease once believed to be extinct. Penhaligon was once a shy fellow, who never pictured himself fighting evil and saving lives. This story has all of the elements of a great book. Penhaligon is likable character and is the underdog. His supporting characters are full of personality, and the reader can place his or herself right into the story.This fantasy novel contains excellent illustrations that inspire the reader throughout the story to envision each and every event. As a fantasy book should, there is a world created for the reader to dive into and discover all the small details as if it were real. S. Jones Rogan does an excellent job of writing descriptively to provide this imagery. This is a great novel to have in the classroom. Students can grasp an excellent understanding of setting and description through reading this excellent tale!
I don't think I've seen this book, but it looks interesting. I see from the cover that there are animal characters. What kind of animal is Penhaligon, or is he human?
ReplyDeleteHow'd you pick out this book? Is it a random selection from the library? Are you continuing to read a series that you started long ago?
ReplyDeleteI'm one (ashamedly) to judge a book by its cover and this for sure is one I'd pick up. Maybe that's why you picked it up too :)
This does look like an interesting book, but as you know I am not into fantasy, so this is probably one that I wouldn't pick up to read. I would, however, have it in my classroom library. What age do you think it is appropriate for?
