theft. Devin’s demands are clear: return the Star or they will take it back by
force.
Now it’s up to Lyla
Stormbringer to find the Star and the thief. before Mallory finds itself at
war.
My Review:
Storm Clouds is the second book in the Hero's Sword series by M.E. Sutton. It was
a quick and fun read, through a bit predictable at times. It is written well, and is simple and easy to follow for middle grade and even a bit younger kids. It is packed full of action and adventure and was fun to read. I was not sure how much I would enjoy reading a book about a girl who gets sucked into a video game world, but it made this an interesting and unique story. I think many middle grade kids will enjoy reading about a kid their age falling into their favorite video
game and living out the fantasy. It is perfect for kids who enjoy using their imaginations to escape the real world at times (and better to read about video games than to spend all day playing them!)
