By T. Jonker on July 24, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Books that are tailor made for reluctant readers can sometimes be tricky to give a thoughtful review. The reason? Well, I'm not a reluctant reader. Show me a book and you don't have to do much convincing. Books like "Captain Underpants" and the "Time Warp Trio" series, while providing an unquestionable benefit to kids who would not otherwise pick up a book, don't leave me with much to say. I support these books. I suggest them to kids who aren't that into reading. They're fun and entertaining. That's what they're for. "Prince of Underwhere" falls into this category. A half illustrated, half text-ustrated breeze of a book that is just asking, nay, begging to be picked up and read.

Zeke, our protagonist, lets it be known right from the get-go that the zaniness is comin' correct:

If we hadn't run from the spies, I might never have discovered Underwhere. (The place, not the tighty-whities. I already know about those.) Then I would never have had to walk like a zombie, lead the miget revolution, and cut a mighty cheese in a castle.

Zeke, his twin sister Stephanie, and his friend Hector are starting to think something is up. The clocks are going haywire and the meows from Hector's cat, Fitz, are starting to sound a lot more like communicating. While Zeke and Stephs parents are out of town, the three friends follow Fitz into a construction site, fall into a black hole, and end up in the land of Underwhere. Here's where the illustrations come in. Whenever the crew goes through the warp zone, the book switches into comic mode. The transition is pretty natural.

In Underwhere, it doesn't take long for the trio to meet up with The Undies and for Zeke to be declared their Prince. The problem with being the savior is that you actually are expected to do some saving.

My 8 year old son read Prince of Underwhere and Pirates of Underwhere in one week. He loved them. He said they are funny and fun to read. He keeps begging me to order the next books in the series, which I will be doing as soon as I finish this review.

Bruce Hale gets kids. He gets boys 6-10 years old. And they love his books! Boy humor all the way. Thanks, Bruce Hale for making my son a reader!

I felt a BIG wedgie coming on while reading the "Prince of Underwhere". I love the fact that there IS a prince of underwhere and how Hale tells his story of how Zeke got there, and what he did while underground with his twin sister, cousin, and other underwhere creatures. This book is a fun read, and will be particularly attractive for reluctant readers from the junior high crowd, who will like the story told through the combination of chapters and comic strips.

As a dedicated reader, I saw it fit to read Bruce Hale's latest book, Prince of Underwhere. It was no where near the greatness of his past books. Cheesy and boring, this book reminded me of a Captain Underpants book. It was a partial comic and the drawings looked like the writing, pathetic. While the book maybe have been aimed toward younger readers, it still should be well written. The idea was half baked and the concepts didn't make it to the finish. I wish the author had stopped when he was ahead.

According to my ten-year-old son, this book rocks because it has a lot of "butt humor" and is "part graphic novel and part not graphic novel." Bruce Hale is always a winner in my book, so to speak, so read this book and enjoy.
