The Power Club by Greg Gildersleeve
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the author in exchange for an honest review.
It has been a while since I last read a middle grade school story and I was surprised by the amount of details and depth of fantasy this one contained.
Personally, I found that the characters, more than anything else in this story maintained the reader’s interest. They were well thought out and highly developed, not only for a book geared to a younger audience, but one that belongs in the fantasy genre in general.
The plot was good and straight forward, with the added mystery of bad guys having evil, secret plans and a group of children trying to find their role in life as well as society.
The writing is what got to me a little bit. I found there were too many details, at times it felt too long winded and wordy, which kept me from being able to completely commit to the story.
Overall, it was a nice story for a younger audience with lots of fantasy, friends and fiends. I would suggest it to anyone, who is looking for a shorter story of the fantasy genre.
