The second volume in "The Chronicles of Dorro," Devils & Demons finds the village of Thimble Down plagued by a terrifying monster. Animals are disappearing and there have been chilling occurrences in the Great Wood. It's up to Mr. Dorro and his young friends to find the truth before the beast acquires a taste for Halfling blood. Or is it already too late?
Thimbledown village what a lovely place The characters come alive and develop As you read, beautifully written, you feel As though you are part of the woods and The surroundings wonderful feel good ending
Another AMAZING page-turner by Pete Prown. Young Adult, Fantasy, and "Scary" are definitely not genres that I tend to gravitate toward, but numerous friends of told me that I "MUST" read "The Chronicles of Dorro" books by Pete Prown, starting with the first novel in the series, Thimble Down.
I absolutely LOVED Thimble Down, and I absolutely LOVED Devils & Demons. The only problem with these two books is that once you start reading them you can't put them down. I haven't had a lot of free time for reading, so I found myself staying awake until all hours because I seriously could not put this book down. And once I finally DID put the book down and fall asleep, I awoke from some very colorful nightmares!!
Prown's stories are so well written and so vivid that I find myself thrown right into the middle of the world of the story. I see the characters everywhere I go.
I strongly recommend The Chronicles of Dorro novels, both Thimble Down and Devils & Demons to EVERYONE!! I'm looking forward to the next novel in this series!!
