Description
RETURN OF THE GOLDEN AGE is the third book in THE FISHERMAN'S SON Trilogy. In RETURN OF THE GOLDEN AGE, Wiley O’Mara travels with six boys from the magnificent ancient city submerged beneath the ocean to his own impoverished island. The boys, having been protected for thousands of years by a magical air bubble, must now adjust to life in a poor village at the turn of the nineteenth century. Wiley must help them to survive. He must also help the villagers to understand their heritage- -that they are descendants of a rich and powerful people. This book is filled with magical beings and places, including golden rings and a mysterious cave.
High Marks for Young Reader-Friendliness
The final book in Marilyn Peake's trilogy brings the adventures of Wiley and his friends to a satisfying full circle. Once again, Ms. Peake targets younger readers with an eye toward teaching them wholesome values, as well as piquing their interests in the world around them.
In this final installment, Wiley and the orphans from the City of the Golden Sun discover they have a challenging task at hand: to show the world-weary villagers of Wiley's land their true promise and potential. But how do a group of children convince adults whose spirits are numbed and cynical from centuries of hardscrabble living? Rest assured, Elden the magical dolphin and Lucinda, the guardian of the forest lake, do all they can to help Wiley and his friends in their task.
As with "The Fisherman's Son" and "The City of the Golden Sun," this novel favors ages eight to twelve in its simple, concise reading style. But, again, there are just enough new words to expand young minds. Ms. Peake deserves a high rating for creating a trilogy that is easy for young people to read, encourages healthy fantasy and instills a desire in early readers to learn.
