Title: Emba Oak and the Screaming Sea
Written by: Jenny Moore
Illustrated by: David Dean
Published by: Maverick Books
Another writing masterpiece written by Jenny Moore and published by Maverick Press. In the third book of the Emba Oak series we join Emba as she searches for her best friend Odolf, who was kidnapped by her wicked father, Necromalcolm. Emba follows the trail back down the mountain to the Screaming Sea where she befriends the Grand Thief Master and steals a pirate ship in pursuit of Odolf, which has been perfectly portrayed on the fabulous front cover illustrated by David Dean.
I am always in awe of Jenny Moore’s characterisation and their unique voices. Emba continues to leap off the page and into the reader’s hearts. In fact, I will be bold enough to say, the whole Emba Oak seriesis a masterclass in how to create a strong protagonist voice. Written in third person we are still strongly in Emba’s mind and point of view.
Full of peril and adventure this is another epic journey that will keep the reader on the edge of their seats. I would like to thank Maverick for sending me a review copy. It was great to be able to join our intrepid heroes again and follow Emba as she discovers more about her dragon powers.
I am looking forward to the next and last book in the series.
I have also reviewed this book on Amazon.
