Synopsis

Finn’s monster-hunting adventures continue in Darkmouth #2: Worlds Explode, the second book of the tween fantasy series that Kirkus Reviews called “Ghostbusters meets Percy Jackson as written by Terry Pratchett.”

Legend Hunter–in-training Finn may be clumsy and uncoordinated, but nothing will stop him from saving his dad, who is trapped in a land full of the monsters that have plagued Darkmouth for centuries. Now Finn will have to journey between worlds to rescue him from the Infested Side.

The action-packed sequel to Darkmouth #1: The Legends Begin is a hilarious adventure filled with beasts of the winged, fanged, and hungry variety—perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom.

Reviews

Gr 5–8—Finn desperately searches his family's house for the map that will help him find his father, the last active Legend Hunter, who is lost in the Infested Land. But Finn doesn't really possess the necessary skills to rescue anyone. With the help of his friend Emmie, who loves the idea of being a Legend Hunter, and an annoying Assessor sent to investigate, Finn stumbles his way into an adventure he is not prepared for. The variety of different creatures depicted in the black-and-white drawings help readers visualize the world. The plot moves along briskly, with Finn bumbling his way through the challenges he faces, but maybe, just maybe, his longing for his father will be enough to see him through. Monsters big and small populate this story of a reluctant hero and the town his family is sworn to protect. VERDICT Purchase where readers enjoy unusual fantasies with a unique combination of technology and magic.—Heidi Grange, Summit Elementary School, Smithfield, UT
