Synopsis

Underneath the steps leading down to Eric’s basement is a hidden storage space. It’s dusty and old — nothing special at all. But when Eric, Julie, and Neal all huddle inside the gray room together, something unbelievable happens. A glittering light and then a rainbow-colored staircase appear. And as the kids take their very first step down into the mysterious land of Droon, they know that only magic and adventure await them!

Comments

This is a good series for the precocious reader as there is really no objectionable content.  I don’t think kids older then about 9 will enjoy it as it’s a pretty simple story.
