Stealing the Sword by Wendy Mass

4.0

My oldest has finally started reading chapter books. Some of them are so boring I fall asleep reading them. This book was fun and fast paced. It is similar in style to Magic Tree House, but better in my opinion. There is a antagonist and protagonist, which the Magic Tree House lacks. Ava and her brother Chase complement each other and are more than a one dimensional caricatures. However this is intended for a younger audience and contains fewer facts and more fiction elements. While this is intended for a young reader I felt like Mass put in effort to hook audiences of all ages. I’m actually interested to see how the second one turns out.
