The High King by Lloyd Alexander - ADVISABLE

Alexander, Lloyd The High King (Chronicles of Prydain, #5), 248 pages.  Henry Holt and Company, 2017. $26. 

Language: G; Violence: PG; Mature Content: G.

Taran and his close friends are on an important mission to save Prydain from the evil Arawn.  All of Taran’s allies and friends band with him on this quest to save their beloved kingdom, and all of the skills and friendships he’s made up to this point will be the only chance he has to combat evil.  This fifth and final book in the Chronicles of Prydain is the epic battle between good and evil.  Taran must rely on those he loves as well as his own confidence in who he has become.

I enjoy this series because of the characters and setting.  This is the cloth bound edition to mark the 50th Anniversary and includes a short story and other material.  Like I've said with the other books, this is a great series for boys and it's clean.

EL, MS – ADVISABLE.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
