Rise of the Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Rise of the Isle of the Lost is the third book in the Descendants series, a collection of books about the kids of the most infamous Disney villains. It is based on the Disney Channel Original Movie by the same name and Rise occurs just before the events of the second movie. It follows the villain kids Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos in Auradon, as well as Uma and her pirate crew on the Isle of the Lost.
The book is a middle school reading level, so it is very simply written. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the story or the writing, although the book was enjoyable enough. I chose to read it because I am a fan of Disney and found the premise to be intriguing. The execution was underwhelming, but I feel that younger readers would really enjoy this book. It is perfect for those in grades five to seven. I would recommend it to those that are fans of the movie and suggest that you read it before seeing the second movie, as that is where it falls chronologically.

[…] I’m still not sure why I read this book when I’ve never even seen the movie, but I was intrigued by the premise. You can check out my mini review here. […]

[…] Shhhh… I’ve never even seen the movie but I’ve read the books. Is that weird? Because it’s not a movie being based upon a book situation. I think theses are sort of in-between situations. I don’t even know.. I just saw it and decided to read it. I’m as confused as you are. You can read my mini-review here. […]
