Relation Supposing Books The Story of the Amulet (Five Children #3)

At the end of Five Children and It the five children promised not to ask the Psammead for another wish as long as they lived, but expressed a half wish to see it again some time. They find 'it' again in a pet shop in Camden Town, and their magic adventures start over again. 'It' leads them to a magic amulet - half of it actually - which they use it to try and find the other half. It takes them back to ancient Egypt and Babylon. The Queen of Babylon visits them in London, bringing all her ancient customs with her - which is awkward. They visit the lost continent of Atlantis. They see Julius Caesar in the flesh, but none of these adventures run smoothly, and if they forget the 'word of power' or lose the amulet, what would happen to them?

Critique Of Books The Story of the Amulet (Five Children #3)

I really didn't care for this. I found the children shallow and annoying and the story pointless. I realize that this is the third book in a series, so maybe I would have reacted differently if I had read the previous books, but what a dull read.

Definitely my least favorite of the three (the first books being Five Children and It and The Phoenix and the Carpet). By the internal chronology, the kids are maybe a year and a half older than when the trilogy started, but they haven't matured even a little bit, and Jane, the youngest, seems to have regressed. Or maybe she really is eight and Nesbit finally figured out how eight-year-olds talk and act. (Hint: They're just learning to be rational.) Her fear of going into strange and potentially

This review prompted me to read some more Nesbit, and I do appreciate the nudge! I think it's more fun now I have my own children than when I was

Robert Anthony, Jane and Cyril are off on another adventure. I can't say enough about these books. They were my lifeline, at one point in time, and they are well written, a bit old fashioned, but I kinda' like that. Their good friend, a fairy comes to visit and they are off on another adventure to search for the other half of a magical amulet that greats your most desirous wish. What could possibly go wrong?

I just loved this book as a child, and it was a delight to revisit it. It was free for the Kindle, so I snapped it up. It was always my favorite of the trilogy, and I must have read it dozens of times, so whole passages were waiting there in my memory when I encountered them -- like Jane sucking on her paintbrush and commenting that Chinese White tastes sweet: of course it does -- it's full of lead! Don't do that!Ahem. Anyway, as an adult I can see that it's a little heavy on social

This was a good time to reread something light, since the real world feels heavy right now. Like with the first two books in this trilogy, the children have a series of adventures, but this time there's a common thread connecting them all - a quest to find the missing half of a magical amulet. I think I enjoyed this one just a bit more than The Phoenix and the Carpet, although the ending is a bit anticlimactic.

A fantastic and fun read!
