3.0 out of 5 stars It's hard to describe the storyline..., November 18, 1999

This review is from: The Magic Crystal: A Storybook Adventure (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) (Paperback)

The Turtles are at April's apartment and Donatello is playing with some gadgets (as you'd probably expect), when Raphael complains that there's no hot water in the shower. So Don is asked to go & fix the hot water heater, but he has to watch out for this guy named Kirby, who is renting the office in the basement. Don eventually meets Kirby, who is drawing alien-looking characters that come to life because of a little magic crystal that he tied to the pencil for decoration. He drew a portal & he & Don enter it & step into the world where all the drawn alien characters live. There, Kirby & Don fight the evil aliens, & save the good guys. When they get back to the portal, it's shrinking & only Don fits through. He returns to April's apartment where Raph is mad at him since there's still no hot water.

Basically, it's a fantasy adventure with a plot that's hard to describe & doesn't really get anywhere in the end, but it's a cute Don story. A word of warning for parents with young children--it shows Raph in a towel, but his shell is still there & nothing's exposed; but kids will probably not stop talking & giggling about it.
