The Toa Nuva return for their greatest adventure yet!

When six powerful figures appear on an island in peril, they are welcomed by the villagers as Toa come to save them. But these newcomers have far more dangerous plans for the island and the Matoran who live there, as their pursuit of an incredible treasure threatens to unleash an ancient evil.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bionicle Series not just a toy promotion, August 2, 2006

At first glance, a skeptical parent would think the various bionicle book series were just a promotional idea of the Lego company to sell more figures and sets. However, I've been sold... on the stories. I have enjoyed the action packed tales as much as my seven year old son has - we both have been excited for the release of not just the new bionicle toys, but the the next books in the series as well. There is a rich background to these assemblages of plastic that will feed your child's imagination during creative play and will foster their interest in reading. Definitly recommend!

I loved it. The Toa Nuva have finally met their match and Jaller is upset because the Turaga and Toa treat them like they're helpless and vulnerable. The basic message, You don't have to be a Toa to be a hero.
