Comics artist Mark Leiknes delivers a laugh-out-loud story set in a fantastic world of dragons, rock creatures, and golden loungewear.
The Quest Kids are ready for their first real quest. This time, they won’t
oversleep, they won’t be put off by a little rain, and they won’t accidentally
burn down the village that hired them. All they have to do is find the
Golden-Fleeced Rage Beast, shave it, and make a really nice golden tracksuit to
appease a furious dragon. Simple, right?
Meet the Quest Kids crew: Gil, a wizard (well, wizard in training . . . the
beard isn’t his); Terra, a 700-year-old elf kid; Boulder, a rock troll who is
more of a cook than a fighter; Ash, a flatulent pig-dog-maybe-lizard hybrid;
and, Ned, the intrepid and overly optimistic leader with his own personal quest
to find his missing parents. With humor, magic, mystery, and at least one acid
swamp filled with skeletal alligators, Quest Kids and the Dragon Pants
of Gold is a richly illustrated saga of fantasy friendship for readers
from all kingdoms!
Review:
“Young readers dipping their toes
into fantasy realms will find plenty to enjoy here….The illustrations bounce
along as quickly as the text, making this a bubbly read, one that quickly grabs
attention and doesn’t require much hand-holding.... A rip-roaring good time.”
— Kirkus Reviews
My Rating: 5/5 stars
My Review:
I don't know what to say other than "I love this book". I don't often get to read books like this that leave me laughing the entire way through. It was an honest pleasure and reminded me of some of the books I read when I was younger.
I was hooked. I loved the art in the book and the way the story was told. I absolutely adore how funny it was and how the story was 'narrated'. It was a unique ride and I was hooked from the beginning. I mean...how often do you see adventurers steal pants? I couldn't help but be enthralled by the unique style and story.
If you want a quick read, I'd recommend it. This book isn't for people who only want serious reads. But if you want to read something fun that will touch your inner child, give this book a shot.
