Joshua and his friend,
Charlie, are having a great time sledding when an unexpected visitor shows up.
She's from the “other realm” and tells Joshua that Leandro sent her, and that he
must come back with her to save Apollo. Although they aren’t sure what to do,
Joshua and Charlie end up being transported back to the Lightning Road. It’s
been awhile since they were last there and now they have a new task at hand.
Artemis has their good friend, Apollo, locked in a cell. When they try to break
him out things take a turn for the worse. Now Charlie and Joshua have no idea
who to trust and how to get back home. There are dangers everywhere and people
are not free to go about their lives. Artemis is ruling and she's dead set on getting powers from the oracle, who she believes is Joshua. Will he
prove to be the oracle? Is there a way to save the slaves and humans trapped in
this realm? How will Joshua know who to trust and what to do? This book is filled with action and adventure, so you'll be turning those pages.
I was excited to read Joshua and the Arrow Realm after reading the first book in the series, Joshua and the Lightning Road a couple years ago. I like that this was a continuation of an exciting story, but that it could also be enjoyed on its own. Charlie is a fun character. I loved his French phrases and nicknames for others. Joshua is growing up and it was nice to see him feeling more confident, even if he doesn't always realize it. I like the new characters that were introduced, and I hope to meet up with some of them again in the next book. The other realm has a lot of interesting parts to it, and seeing the way the gods and goddesses act is fascinating. This is a great book for kids in 4th grade and up who love mythology and stories with lots of action. I read this in one day, so it's full of page turning adventures- but there are sad parts too. I know there will be more for Joshua to do, and I look forward to the next book in the series.
