Translation: Spanish
My Thoughts: This book suffers from all the flaws that the cartoon
show did, being corny, predictable, and only very loosely related to the
Dungeons & Dragons game. Still, considering the age group it's aimed
at, it's not too bad.

creature named Folderol discover a new ruler for the kingdom of Aknar before
Venger can conquer it.
Translation: Spanish
My Thoughts: This is a typical story for the series, but the book
is made notable by a number of puzzles. It starts off with a word game and
has various other visual challenges scattered through the book including a
maze and some inexplicably present connect-the-dots pictures.

Plot Summary: You are Diana Acrobat. You must rescue your friends
from the Shrieker, an evil pixie harnessing the energy of the stars.

My Thoughts: This book includes a lot of simple word games but isn't
as puzzle-oriented as the previous book. It's not particularly unusual in
any other way.
