In The Inkwell Chronicles: The Ink of Elspet, J.D. Peabody has written a fantasy style book set in a magical world theme. Marcus is a comic book creator of Max Courageous comics. He has two children, Everett and Bea. Their mother died when she was giving birth to Bea. Their father would actively encourage his own children to have bravery and do always do the right thing. Their actions matter more than any superheroes. One day, their father has to travel on a secret mission to Scotland and he instructed Everett that he would become the man of the house if something was to happen to him. Marcus was travelling by train when it crashed from a creature referred to as the blotter with batlike wings. He also thought they took the contains in the briefcase which was an important pen and a bottle. He is believed to be dead but the body was never found. His children set out on a quest to discover what really happened to father eventually figure out the meaning behind the important pen and in the right hands it can create imaginable things. Get ready for a magical quest!
I would recommend this exciting book to tweens around the middle school aged. It is filled with magical creatures and fantasy. I liked how they created the blotters as a represent of a dark angel type who are dead set on stealing all the ink. I loved reading about inking and how it has created amazing stories. Readers will enjoy learning and following the clues and it will keep them on the edge of their seats and engaged with the story line. I also liked the concept of the book and I think middle schoolers will love having a new series to enjoy.
"I received this book free from the publisher, Hachette Book Group/Faithwords for my honest review.”
