This brand-new novel from Scholastic is about a young boy named Jamie who is sent to a mask makers shop on a deserted street and is told to pick a mask that will change his life forever. I must say that 'Maskmaker' was absolutely outstanding from start to finish, in fact I think that it was ten times as good as Jim Springman and the Realm of Glory for it had more action, drama, excitement and danger. I thought it was very well-written and the jokes were hilarious, some of them anyway, but the book itself was great. I loved the cover as it had a nice background colour, and the tiger mask looked very cool as the embossed cover made it look very 3D and colourful on the metallic paper. The storyline was an easy read, there weren't any long or hard-to-understand words in it, plus it didn't have too many scary parts in it. The main character, Jamie, seemed to be a cool kid that I'd want to have as a friend, he was brave, talented, and last but not least, he was rather funny. Miss Lambent, on the other hand, was a bit scary, especially when she revealed her true identity. The age group I think that the age group this book is aimed at is good 10 and over, in fact I could almost say that it's good for all ages as I think it would probably be enjoyable for everyone. 'Maskmaker' is a good book to read, and I'm sure that you will find it great as well. |
