4-6Mabel Jones series.
Illustrated by
Ross Collins.
Mabel (The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones) searches the Noo World for her baby sister, who's been abducted by an evil jungle sorceress. Teaming up with two explorers and some old friends, she journeys to the Forbidden City. Wordiness and backstory slow the action in places, but fans won't be disappointed with this second wild romp, illustrated with plentiful line drawings.
