Summary from Book: Get ready to make some noise!
Cucumber, Almond, and friends arrive in the Melody Kingdom just in time for Queen Cymbal’s royal birthday bash. But the part stops—or, let’s be real, it starts—when Noisemaster, second of the Nightmare Knight’s minions, crashes the scene.
Can he be defeated before the whole kingdom is blown away, or are our heroes in over their heads this time?
Page Pig Thoughts: Admittedly, I was rather tired and really wanted to go to bed when I started this. I did not get very far before I stopped reading. That usually doesn’t happen, so that is noteworthy in itself. When I opened it and noticed that the story starts on Chapter 2, I was a little confused, but that didn’t really bother me. But several pages in, I had no idea what was going on. I didn’t understand the characters or what was happening, so I stopped reading.
Does the book turn into something amazing? Maybe, maybe not. I really created this entry as a word of caution that maybe you want to start with the first book in the series. Maybe starting on book 3 did not do this series justice.
Use caution with younger or sensitive readers, some of the pictures appear to have scary factor. Although I haven’t really spent much time with this one, so maybe it’s really not that bad.
