My (almost 4-year-old) son loves for me to read from this series, and I share his enthusiasm. This creative ongoing saga of three friends -- Eric, Julie, and Neal -- transported to the mysterious world of Droon by a magic staircase, continues to captivate and rivet. If anything, my son's interest has grown rather than waned with each successive book. The author's skillful introduction of colorful characters -- including the princess/junior wizard Keeah, the spider-troll max, and my son's favorite, Khan, king of the purple lumpies -- permits endless role playing after a reading session. Even the villians, Lord Sparr and his red-faced warrior Ninns perched atop their lizard steed groggles, prove menacing without scaring younger readers. Droon fans will enjoy that this edition permits them to finally meet the Viking, King Zello. I strongly encourage these books for young readers and fervently hope that Mr. Abbott sticks with this wonderful endeavor.

When Neal mysteriously turns into a bug Eric and Julie rush him to droon to be cured. Princess Keeah has an idea that the City in the Clouds called Ro can save Neal from being a bug the rest of his life. Seems easy huh? The only probelm is that the city of Ro can only be seen once every seven years. That is not the only problem. Lord Sparr has a plan to steal the diamonds that help function what happens in Droon. Princess Keeah also wants to go to the tower because she wants to find out why her mother disappeared. Will Neal ever be turned back? Will princess Keeah find what happend to her mother? I highly recommend you read this book!

What i like about the city in the clouds was all the cliff hangers . The cliff hangers make you read more it is intersting and it is very short so it is easy to read for a book report like i did. It is similar to other droon books. If you like actoin books then this is the book for you. Ther was a really good actoin part when sparr got his big army and tried to get the city but the kids stop him.

Ever since Eric and his two friends,Julie and Neal, discoevered the magical,enchanting world in Erics basement they have been on three adventures they will never forget.Join them on there fouth. The City of Ro is under a spell of invisableitly to protect the tower of Memory,a tower that holds all of the Droonians history.The magical diamonds have that power,and Ro appeers once every year to collect them.But the evil Lord Sparr has a plott to steal them.He will stop at nothing.Charming the mind and filling the heart,this book really does work wonders.It is a fasinating read and I hope you will enjoy it as I have.

I am a 14 year old student. I thought this was a good book because it was entertaining. When the boy turns into a bug, I think it was funny. I think kids ages eight and up would enjoy this book because it is for younger kids. I also liked when there was a fight scene with magic and swords.

My kids (7 and 10) are addicted to the series. I recommend it!!
