Riassunto

Hamelin’s story began when he was found as a newborn in a tomato crate on the stoop of an orphanage in west Texas. Hamelin’s first adventures with the Great Eagle led him through the mysterious cave and finally, across the footbridge. He has learned that his quest to find his parents and learn his true identity will not be quickly done or easy to fulfill. The Great Eagle leads him through the dangerous Waters of Death and Life and into the Land of Gloaming, where Hamelin is thrown into the midst of a war already being waged between the evil Chimera and the mysterious Ancient One. He must help two new friends find a kidnapped princess and recover a stolen jewel, tasks for which they have special gifts that must not be misused; a scarf of sight, shoes of speed, and a sword of death. But these quests are only part of the larger story, a story including Chimera’s plan to use Hamelin — a child of two realms — to seize the kingdoms on both sides of the Atrium of the Worlds.

This is the second book in the Hamelin Stoop young adult fantasy series.

Recensione:

The Lost Princess and the Jewel of Periluna is a work in the tradition of C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles and the Curdie books of George MacDonald. Robert Sloan has produced a riveting fantasy that grabs you in the first chapter and won't let go until the last -- and leaves you eager to read the next Hamelin Stoop volume. The book imaginatively uses mythopoeic distinctives of a morally charged subcreation, but perhaps its greatest strength is that it tells an exciting story that will fully hold the attention of older children and adults. -- Jim Parker
