Book review topic on: Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow
A fiction book I read recently is titled "Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow". This book is aboutthe adventure of Jake and his sister, Kady, travelling across time into a different world populated by lost civilizations such as the Mayans and Romans. As they enter Calypsos, they find monsters like grackyls, monsters that work for the Skull King, also known as Kalverum Rex. Kalverum Rex, an evil alchemist, was the previous Magister, but turned evil and killed another Magister. He was banished, but, he built an army and was able to sneak his army into Calypsos from the help of a betraying Magister. As the story continues, Jake and Kady need to plan on how to return back to their own time and home, but before that, they need to defeat the Skull King, who seems to want both of them, dead or alive.
Reflections:
This adventure showed much determination and resilience from Jake, as the main character. He was determined in defeating the Skull King and thinking of ways for them to escape back to their own time. He needed to race against time in the last few chapters, as the Skull King had attacked the city, and he needed help from the Ur, another lost civilization.
Also, he showed excellent courage, as he was willing to "sacrifice" himself by tricking the Skull King that he had surrendered. However, this was actually a plan, to activate the shield again and push the Skull King's army out. Lastly, he showed great potential as a leader, he was able to lead his friends to defeat the Skull King, and this was done through trust and teamwork. I feel that we should all learn from his characteristics, since it showed his abilities to survive in harsh conditions and to think calmly in dire situations. Thus, I feel that it is important for us to learn from him, both his mistakes and characteristics in the story.
