Very sweet! This time the Gumluck will go on a quest with other heroes, like D&D but knowing Gumluck as we do, we know that he won't let magical animals get caught, or hurt for the wrong reasons. This one has a lot of great characters and they even go to a Goblin Castle. We laughed a lot when Gumluck was surprised that his companions went along with his plan. The lesson is short and powerful, sometimes we want to please everyone, or do what we want, or do the right thing, but most of the time these are not the same. So happy to have read this arc.
Charming, funny, magical and wonderful! I am sad that I have only just discovered Gumluck, but even without having read the first two books, I really enjoyed the story and some of the references to previous books. Adam Rex is a gifted author with a knack for comedy, and anyone who enjoys magic and humor will love the Gumluck series.
As I read, I couldn't help but connect the magical creatures with quirky personalities to those of T.J. Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea. I think teens who enjoyed TJ Klune would like this series, even if it is a middle grades series.
