Book Review
The Wizard of
Rondo
 |
By Emily
Rodda |
"Leo and Mimi return to Rondo determined to stay out
of trouble and away from their old enemy the Blue Queen.
On meeting with their old friends, the two Langlanders
discover that much has changed since their last visit.
Bertha, the model pig, has become a local celebrity and
the slippery Spoiler seems to have vanished. When the
Quest team are offered a job in nearby Hobnox to
investigate the mysterious disappearance of the Wizard
Bing and prove that Simon, Bing's one time apprentice
turned giant mushroom, is innocent, Leo and Mimi are
quickly caught up in the case. But something sinister is
lurking in the skies above Hobnox. The legendary Strix's
castle has been sighted a mystical cloud palace where
the Strix's victims are forever imprisoned and the Quest
team suspect it has something to do with their
investigation. Despite their good intentions, Leo and
Mimi soon find themselves knee deep in trouble and
sinking fast."--

including a
longed-for skateboard. However, two gifts you would expect to be of
least
interest to a young boy prove to be magical and exciting. Suitable for
primary aged students this study guide has learning outcomes in key
learning
areas such as English, Art and Society and Environment.
