5.0 out of 5 stars The Journey to the Volcano Palace, October 6, 2000

A Kid's Review

I really liked the book. Eric, Julie, and Neal are going on a journey to the core of the volcano to find the jewel that Spar has stolen. Spar stole the jewel which is a glove with a diamond on it from the King. On their journey the three kids meet wizards, monsters and lumpies. The part when the lumpies attacked the fire monsters was the funniest part of the book. If you want to find out if the kids made it or not, read the book. I thought the book was going to be boring, but I ended up really enjoying the book and finished it really fast.
