Changes

The first block of volumes, for me, started off great, and had a couple of weaker titles nearer the end. This time, we start off fine, have a couple of average moments, and build to the end. Chameleon Chaos almost seems disposable in the over-arching scheme of things; [http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0192732390?tag=thebookbag-21&camp=1406&creative=6394&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0192732390&adid=1CBCM4PTG1APS9SDMJP1&&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebookbag.co.uk%2Freviews%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DLizard_Loopy_by_Ali_Sparkes GECKO GLADIATOR], book four, has little to further things either, but is very droll with Sparkes' inventive way of picking up gender foibles in the young and spinning fun fantasy from them, as the twins get stuck in a hellish nightmare of pink girls - who are far more vicious than their bug-eat-bug world ever was.

Overall then we have little in the way of fine literature, but still the rainbow-coloured shelf of the reluctant reader's Sparkes section should still grow with this series. She has a fine way with words, plot and vividly created character, and it's not just the alligators here who are snappy. The dropping of clues is self-evident for the adult peruser, but the target audience is still bound to enjoy a lot of this franchise. I think that currently the future of it is unknown, as regards a third dose of drama, and perhaps a dozen and more of these books are a bit too many already, given their basic, similar structure, but for now their current success is most evident.
