Christopher Pike (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Spooksville

There are more troubles in Spooksville. A dragon has appeared out of nowhere and it is looking for its treasure. In fact, it intends to destroy the entire town unless its jewels and gold are returned immediately. The only trouble is that Adam and his friends don't know where this treasure is.

Worse, the creature is rather hotheaded and won't listen to reason. It is a fire-breathing dragon, and soon it is laying waste to all that stands in its way. Even kids -- it doesn't mind burning them to ash. Soon Adam and his friends are fighting for their lives.

This review is from: The Hidden Beast (Spooksville No.12) (Paperback)

This is one of the well written books among the series by Pike. It merges mystical creatures with reality and a little fun and heart stopping adventure.

there are more troubles in Spooksville now. A dragon has appeared and it is looking for a treasure. In fact, it intends to destroy the town unless the jewels and golds are returned to the dragon. The only Trouble is, Adam and his friends do not know where the treasure is.
Worse, the creature is hot-headed and won't listen to reason.
It is a fire breathing dragon and it can kill the whole people in Spooksville.

This review is from: The Hidden Beast (Spooksville No.12) (Paperback)

I decided to do this book for my bookreport.
I was pleased but not too pleased. I'm usually very impressed with Christopher Pike's books but i was a little dissappointed whith this one. I liked the general idea of the story and some of the discriptions. The thing that i didn't like about this book was Mr.Pike didn't stick to one idea for a long time. I also felt like there was something missing. When grade sevens have to do book reports we have to describe three main characters. Pike did a very good job at describing personality but i had no clue what anyone (except Leah) looked like. I would probaly recomend this book for people at a grade 4 reading level.
