Isle of the Lost: Janelle Mixner

       The book I read is called the Isle of the Lost. This is about the Disney villains being out in a dome with no magic. The four main characters are Mal (daughter of Maleficent), Evie (daughter of the Evil Queen), Carlos (son of Cruella de Ville), and Jay (son of Jafar). Every villain thknks there is no magic until at Carlos's party, he tries out his invention. It cuts a hole in the dome! Once this happened, Maleficent's bird friend, Diablo, comes back to her and says that her Dragon Eye staff has been unfrozen. Maleficent wants Mal to go retrieve it for her. Maleficent always says that Mal is a disappointment so Mal thinks that if she gets the staff, her mother won't think of her as a disappointment. Mal gets Evie, Carlos, and Jay to help her find it. Once they get into the room where the staff is, Mal didn't want Evie to touch it because she would fall asleep for one-thousand years. So instead, Mal touched it. She is immune to the sleep spell because she is part dragon. After she touches it, it disappears. When Mal returns home, she sees that the Dragon Eye staff is in her mothers hands. She got the staff because of Diablo because Diablo followed them. Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Ville, and Jafar are all disappointed. Meanwhile, down at Auradon, prince Ben is will be becoming King soon. Before he becomes King, he runs off to find his parents because he looked up at the Isle of the Lost and wonders. There are probably kids my age up there. How do they survive? How does it feel being trapped in a dome with no magic at all?
