Not quite happily over after yet?

In the first book we know Felix goes back and lives happily with his family. But we also know Snake Weed is there too. So Snake Weed turns Felix's happy family in to marble. And could just turning two people to stone effect the whole world? Now Felix must once again cross the divide. And Felix discovers that the magical world is in danger too. Many twists in this story happen. And wait till you meet the new member of this story and her name is......Fuzzy.

The trilogy gets even better!

To save his own world from a disaster caused by the evil Snakeweed, Felix has to go back across the Divide to Betony's world, with its rich cast of mythical creatures. There he meets all his old friends, and has another series of adventures with them - together with some memorable new characters, including a versifying cyclops, a deadly sphinx, a magic carpet with attitude and the adorable(?) chick Fuzzy. Elizabeth Kay has achieved something unusual here: she has written a sequel that is even better than the original. Anyone who enjoyed her debut fantasy "The Divide" will certainly want to read this one.

Back to the Divide

Back to the Divide Elizabeth Kay This book is about a boy named Felix and how he has to go to another dimension to save its people. He is not alone however. His friends Betony, Ironclaw, and Thornbeak are by his side. They have to stop Fleabane from taking over. But an old enemy or two might return. In this book Felix realizes that you have to face your problems head on no matter what they might be. In this book about griffins, elves, and other mythological creatures, anything can happen. Anything from finding a magic carpet, to out smarting a Sphinx. This is a good book for sixth graders. It is the second book in the Divide series. Personally I loved the book. It has adventure, action, and it is a good book to get stuck in. This book is an adventure from the first page and the adventure doesn't stop. This was one of the best books I have ever read. Anyone that liked The Divide will love this book. It picks right up from where the first book stops. I recommend this book for fifth to eighth graders.

Back and Good as Ever!

This is a great book. Just like the first one it entwines adventure and comedy to make a terrific story. The sequal is just as good as the first and Felix's adventures are never ending fun. I can't wait for her to publish the next book in this series and want desperately to know what happens when Betony and Felix are reunited to continue affairs in both thier worlds......
