    In the final book of The Land of Elyon series, Alexa Daley and her mismatched band of allies-a hyperactive squirrel, a giant, one resurrected wise man, a frail woman, and assorted others-prepares for the final confrontation with the forces of Abbadon, a sort of Lucifer analog, led by the evil Victor Grindall. In order to prevail, Alexa must navigate the treacherous Lonely Sea, rescue her friend Yipes from Grindall, and find the mysterious Tenth City-all in a matter of days. Needless to say, there is neither a dull moment nor much of a break in the action as Alexa goes about her business. The setting is reasonably well realized, and the included map does much to make sense of the terrain through which Alexa and crew pass. Characterization is sketchy, presenting types rather than individuals, and the plotting is a bit pat. Everything resolves rather too easily, despite the death of one of the major characters. Some moderately surprising revelations and a happy ending make this book a satisfying read for those who have followed the first two books, but despite the introduction that gives background, the book does not stand alone. It is acceptable but hardly inspired fantasy for those who like their action nonstop and their plots squeaky clean.

    Gr 4-6-In this final volume in the series, the nasty overlord, Grindall, and his band of ogres have kidnapped Alexa's miniature friend, Yipes. Now Alexa is traveling over the seas with her motley crew of animal, giant, and human companions to save him. She makes some daring escapes, placates some wild creatures, and must defeat Grindall and his supernatural master, the fallen Abaddon. At the end, she and her companion get a glimpse of the heavenly Tenth City wherein lies the good creator, Elyon. The book draws more heavily on Christian imagery and religion than the previous titles and has some distinct similarities to C. S. Lewis's "Narnia" tales, especially at the end. Unlike the first two books, this one does not stand alone. Purchase where the series has proven popular.-Elizabeth Bird, New York Public Library Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
