Book Review: “Mabel Jones and the Forbidden City”

I received product to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Mabel Jones and the Forbidden City

Publisher: Viking Books (February 9, 2016)

Format:  Paperback Book

304 Pages

A funny fantasy-adventure series for fans of LEMONY SNICKET, NEIL GAIMAN, and CRESSIDA COWELL

What do you do when you survive a pirate kidnapping, a milk-drinking contest with a giant grizzly bear, and a stint inside the belly of a whale? If you’re Mabel Jones, you do everything you can to avoid another UNLIKELY ADVENTURE!

But when Mabel’s baby sister is plucked from her crib by an EVIL witch, Mabel has no choice but to follow both to the jungles of the Forbidden City.

Joining a brand-new cast of characters—and a few familiar faces from The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones—Mabel races an arrogant fox, slays a ferocious millipede, and battles the diabolical witch. But is she prepared to make the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE to save her sister?

Mabel Jones and the Forbidden City is the second book in the Mabel Jones series.  It is an adorable book full of adventure sure to spark any young reader’s creativity. It is a bigger book (just over 300 pages) but the font is big and there are pictures throughout the book to break up the reading. It is recommended for ages 8-12 but I started reading it and it is pretty cute. The font too in the book is funky and in various fonts – it just makes it even more fun to read I think.

The story has Mabel Jones on an adventure this time with some old and new friends to save her sister. It is a great book for kids who are just starting bigger chapter books as they can work their way through it. I found the story to be jam packed with adventure so far and one that I think kids will have a hard time putting down (heck I did!) Perfect for kids who love adventure books and other worlds!
