“Sometimes the world needs to be saved and there’s only one person brave enough to do it. This time . . . that person is Gina. With the help of D.J., Hilo, one warrior cat, one warrior cat’s annoying little brother, one flying Bearacat, lots of magic, lots of action, lots of laughs, and a whole world that believes in her, Gina is ready to save the world once and for all!

Prepare for a Hilo with more twists, more turns, more monsters, and more shocking surprises than ever before–because sometimes we all need to be reminded who we’ve always been.”

Series Info/Source: This is the 9th book in the HiLo series. I bought a copy of this book.

Thoughts: This book was just as much fantastic fun as all of these books have been. The characters and story are a blast, the illustration is bright, colorful, and easy to follow. Every time I read a new book in this series I end up laughing out loud and having a great time.

In this installment Gina (with the help of her friends) must put the world back into the shape it once was before it was broken. There’s a lot of monsters, magic, and mayhem as she works to do this.

I loved this, it was just sooo much fun. I enjoyed how things resolved as well and wonder if we will see more HiLo books or if this is the end!?

My Summary (5/5): Overall this was just as fun, creative, and wonderful as all the previous books in this series. There is magic, action, adventure, crazy creatures and wonderful characters. I loved the story as well and hope that we see more books in this series!
