Geeks and the Holy Grail by Mari Mancusi - ADVISABLE


Language: G (0 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content: G; Violence: G

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Sophie, 12yo, is way excited for her first official Camelot Code mission!  And she gets to work again with her best friend Stu.  Not so great – as she is working her magic to transport to Camelot, she accidentally beings along her almost step-sister – super popular Ashley. But how hard can it be to keep the Holy Grail – that’s been turned into a baby dragon?! – out of the hands of Morgana and deliver it to Arthur, who is very sick? Turns out that is much more dangerous and difficult than Sophie imagined. And Ashley may be nicer, smarter, and more helpful than Sophie is willing to admit.

Sophie and Stu exercise their skills as they negotiate their next adventure in Camelot. Those who enjoyed the first book will continue to enjoy the sequel.  I wonder how many books we will get to enjoy their adventures.  Point those who enjoy Bach’s Ever Afters series to this one.
