Highly recommended for libraries where the first installment is popular.-Kelley Gile, Cheshire Public Library, CT Copyright 2017 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. VERDICT An exciting conclusion to a modern-day take on "Jack and the Beanstalk," this title is even stronger than the previous book. Charming, spot-on dialogue personalizes the various creatures. Panels are incredibly action-packed but have fairly simple backgrounds, moving the plot along deftly and keeping the focus on the protagonists. With each page-turn, Jack and Lilly become more well rounded and complex, and the villains become ever more daunting. The strong character development gives this swashbuckling, imaginative tale an air of authenticity. The duo are separated and must battle their own monsters, helped along the way by even more winsome and fantastical creatures than in the first volume. Gr 4-7-In this follow-up to Mighty Jack, the titular character and his friend Lilly travel through a portal in search of Jack's sister, Maddy, who has been kidnapped by an ogre. Questions are in short answer format and come with an answer key.
