Gr 4—7—Guides to long-running series have two important jobs. They should remind fans of all the things they particularly love about the books, and they should whet the appetites of newcomers, thus creating more fans. Barron's guide to his 12-book saga about Merlin succeeds in both objectives. The tone is breezy and cheerful, a bit like having a friend chat with you about his favorite books. Information about characters, creatures, places, and things is included. Buy where the series is popular.—Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
This companion guide to Barron's Merlin books covers the stories' various realms and details the characters and places found in each. Within every entry, bold text indicates terms that have their own subentries. As a stand-alone book it lacks context, but it's a useful resource if you've read the series. Illustrations and maps break up the pages.
