The Wyrm King by Holly Black, Tony DiTerlizzi
The Wyrm King is a graphic novel written by Holly Black and illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. It is a part of the author’s middle-grade fantasy series, set in the world of Elfhame, which first gained popularity with the release of The Folk of the Air trilogy. The Wyrm King tells the story of a young girl named Apis, who embarks on a quest to save her kingdom from a terrifying and ancient threat.
Plot Summary
The novel follows Apis, a young girl living in the kingdom of Owl Haven, who is suddenly thrust into a dangerous adventure. Apis discovers that her kingdom is in grave danger from a wyrm, a giant serpent-like creature, which has been awakened from a long slumber. The wyrm seeks to consume the world and bring about its destruction.
Apis learns that the only way to save her kingdom is to find and awaken the Wyrm King, a mythical creature who can defeat the wyrm. Along her journey, Apis encounters various mythical creatures and must use her wits, courage, and newfound abilities to navigate the treacherous landscape. She is accompanied by her loyal companions, a talking raven named Mor and a mysterious boy named Eul, who claims to have known the Wyrm King in the past.
In the final episode of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles, Nick and Laurie thought they had solved their giant problems when they chased all the giants into the sea. But now, the Grace kids have returned to tell them that they may encounter more difficulties on the way!
It turns out the giants control the population of Hydra, a dragon-like creature that is creating sinkholes across Florida. But with the mermaids refusing to bring the giants to shore, the nixie still missing, and the threat of a destroyed Florida approaching, the children must take matters into their own hands.
Can Nick and Laurie stop the destruction they unintentionally cause? Can a new giant hunter help save the world? Can Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide help them out of this situation or do they have to do it on their own?
The chronicles are great and I can’t wait to read them to my niece. This episode concludes the series. The language is lively and the pacing is good enough for teens and up. I want to find out for myself how this series “flys” when read to children (under 6 years old). The violence is no more than in other original fairy tales and fables. The characters’ internal conflicts and the parents’ struggles are very realistic and cleverly integrated into the story line. I am a believer in “fairy tales” that help children develop healthily. If you are too then try this series.
