4-6Six Crowns series.
Illustrated by
Gary Chalk.
In the last two legs of their quest for the six Badger Crowns, hedgehogs Trundle and Esmeralda find themselves staging an opera along their journey (Sargasso) and seeking a hidden island while evading pirates (Full Circle). These late installments deliver a sparkly and satisfying conclusion, though some recurring illogic would make them a confusing entry point. Black-and-white illustrations underscore the almost-steampunk feel. Review covers these Six Crowns titles: Full Circle and Sargasso Skies.
