Book Review: Nimpentoad by Josh, Henry, & Harrison Herz, and Sean Eddingfield.

The Review by Emily Toombs

The book Nimpentoad is about a Nibling who has to travel through the woods to get to Goofus’ castle, so he can help Goofus out, but on the way he finds loads of monsters that are evil.

I liked the action when they were in the cart. I also liked the humour. I found this bit very funny, for example: ‘Bug eggs may not sound very good to you or me, but when you are a Nibling, and all the bigger creatures take the best food, sometimes you don’t have much choice!’ I found the Niblings funny when they were in the back of the cart. My favourite character is Nimpentoad because he is a hero.

The genre is fantasy. The writing was very easy to read. I liked the descriptive words that the author used. My favourite part of the story is when they were pedalling in the cart.

I liked the book a lot! 

Nimpentoad is clever and brave. Nimpentoad and his friends go on a journey to Goofus, a big kind Giant. Simple, right? Wrong. The journey there is filled with adventure, but Nimpentoad always has a plan to save the day, or does he?

This book is filled with exciting monsters. This tale will linger in your mind long after you put the book down. The author uses small but effective words to help explain all the monsters.

I really enjoyed this book and am hoping there will be a Nimpentoad 2.
