Bobby Pendragon is a seemingly normal fourteen-year-old boy. But there is something very special about Bobby: He is going to save the world. Now Bobby's fans can join him once again as he travels through space and time to other worlds. From the alternate dimension of Denduron to the underwater territory of Cloral to the world of First Earth, Bobby's mission is nothing less than to save the universe from ultimate evil.

The books come in a box and each book is around one inch thick. I don't know if it was by accident or not, but I have found some typos in the books (such as missing quotation marks, etc.).
The books are okay, in my opinion. The first two books were around 3-4 stars (meaning a B- to a B+ rating). The third book just killed me. I thought the characters were just 'dumb', because they didn't really have to think about what the villan was thinking about (i.e. the villan's scheme was so easy to see, even if I were a character in the story). The third book killed my interest, but read it if you like and see if the villan's plot was as easily distinguished for you as it did me.
Overall, I think the books are just average. Being gr.8 when I read this, I think the main character's mind (he was around gr.8ish in the beginning) was not very mature. The reading level was easy too.

I think these books are totally brilliant. They're funny, clever, entertaining and imaginative. They're written in a really cool way too, you can really believe it's a kid writing, not an adult.
You get to know the characters really well and you care about what happens to them.
They're good for reading in one long stretch on a plane, or a chapter a night (that's kind of hard though since it's really difficult to put it down!!)
I really recommend this book to anyone!

My 15 year old niece turned me on to this series and both my husband and I have enjoyed them.

The quality is not consistant with all the other items I have ordered from Amazon. The pages of the book fall apart easily. Also, the recemmended age group is 9-12 and the book uses profanity. It is not necessary to use such profanity or any profanity for this age group. I have returned the item and will be more cautious in the future.
