Some
Very Messy Medieval Magic is the third book in the
Adventures of Pete and Weasel series by C. Lee McKenzie. This one picks up
right where The
Great Timelock Disaster left off. Pete and Weasel are called to a
meeting and told they must go back in time to fix something that changed when
Pete accidentally opened the time lock in their last adventure. Unfortunately
they don’t have much time to prepare before they’re sent back, and they can’t
even pack proper clothes to help them blend in. When they end up in medieval
times, daily life gets a little tricky. Pete’s never ridden a horse and Weasel’s
not allowed to wear his glasses because they haven’t been invented
yet. Neither Pete nor Weasel can figure out what's going on, and they don’t
have the slightest clue what important event they're supposed to make sure happens. How will someone get in touch with them? Who can they trust? Pete’s even more confused now that Weasel can hear
everything he’s thinking. Why can Weasel do that all of a sudden? And what about the horse, Mellie, who Pete
can communicate with in his mind? Will Pete and Weasel be able to set things
right and get back to their time? Is there any way to stop more changes from
happening and impacting the future? You’ll
have to read this fast pace story to find out!
I have read
many books by C. Lee McKenzie and enjoyed all of them. I was excited to
read the latest adventure of the characters that have come to hold a place in
my heart. Some Very Messy Medieval Magic
showed how much Pete and Weasel have grown throughout the series. Not only
is their friendship stronger, but they have each learned important things
about themselves in the process. It was interesting when they were in medieval
times because it made me realize how hard it would be to blend in with another
time period; mistakes could give everything away. I recommend this book to kids in third grade
and up who like magic or getting into a little mischief. I've found the series to flow smoothly from
book to book, but also believe that each story can be read as a standalone.
Has anyone else read Some Very Messy Medieval Magic? Or have you read another book by C.
Lee McKenzie?
We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Happy Reading!
