The Jedera Adventure

Our rating: ***

When Vesper Holly discovers a very old book that her father borrowed from a library in Africa before he died, she determines to return it, dragging Brinnie along with. As usual, they encounter many adventures along the way, including kidnapping, slave traders, and a mysterious blue-skinned man.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as some of Lloyd Alexander’s other books, but it’s definitely worth reading. A very action packed mystery with a great deal of humor.

  1. I really enjoyed this book. (So far I’ve enjoyed all the Vesper Holly books I’ve read, but that’s beside the point.) Vesper has the funniest way of getting stuck in the middle of things. The airplane part (mysterious look) is very fun. Hopefully now you want to read it. Please do!


  2. I dabble in home movies and I think that this one would make a good movie. Do Lloyd Alexander’s explosions get bigger in every book, or is just me?
