The Mystery of the Moon Tower
The Mystery of the Moon Tower | Francesco Sedita, Prescott Seraydarian
1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
Summer camp just became a whole lot more interesting when five curious kids accept a mysterious project: work together as a team to uncover a series of strange clues, reveal a secret path--and follow its twists and turns to a legendary treasure! Join in the fun in this lively, clever debut graphic novel sure to appeal to fans of the Last Kids on Earth and Lumberjanes series. Kyle is a new kid in town who likes to draw. Vic is a cool cheerleader who's secretly a math whiz. Quiet Beth is a history buff, while goofball Harry likes performing magic tricks, with the help of his patient wingman, Nate. Five kids unlikely to form a team, for sure. But then they're thrown together at summer camp, where they watch a grainy old movie about the history of their town, Windrose, and one of its illustrious citizens of a bygone era: the intrepid explorer-inventor Henry Merriweather. He's the one who established their camp. Merriweather's Camp Pathfinders' motto? Plus Ultra: more beyond! The five kids soon find there is indeed "more beyond" in their pokey town with its weird weather and sudden geysers of smelly air. Deciphering a route of historical markers leads them to Merriweather's old castle, which is lined with ornate, beautiful tiles in hallways that lead to secret rooms full of odd objects--and where time itself is warped! Kyle, Vic, Beth, Harry, and Nate witness scenes from Merriweather's past and realize his experiments and eccentricities are pointing toward a path--that could lead to the rumored lost treasure of Windrose. This is the path our heroes are meant to follow, on a journey that will take them back and forth through time, through woods, and across waterways revealed by moonlight, right up to the looming Moon Tower itself--which holds Merriweather's secret . . . and the treasure!

Mehso-so

For a middle grade graphic novel, I actually enjoyed it. However, there were a few things that didn't quite flow correctly. It was fast paced, so some parts were skimmed over rather quickly. It ended on a cliffhanger, so now I have to read the second book to find out what happens. We really didn't get any answers to any questions throughout the book.

Karisimo I also dislike when authors force you to read the next book to see what happens. I feel manipulated! 13mo
AshRaye @Karisimo I know, right?! I would appreciate having a complete story, and then maybe a few loose ends that lead into the next book. But, I definitely want the main storyline to be resolved by the end of the book. 13mo
Karisimo @AshRaye exactly! 13mo
