Synopsis: 'Amelia, the Venutons and the Golden Cage,' is the second book in Amelia's Amazing Space Adventures; an exciting series set in outer space, for children ages 5-9.
Uglesnoo needs Amelia's help. His sister is very sick. The only cure is a repelling crystal from Neptune. With his Earthling friend, Amelia, they must continue their quest. More items are needed to buy the crystal. But Venus is full of danger and angry aliens. Are Uglesnoo and Amelia in over their heads?
Curious as to how the adventure began? In the first book, 'Amelia, the Moochins and the Sapphire Palace,' Amelia opens a present. A present that's not a present. No, it's a friendly looking alien from the planet Pluto. Uglesnoo needs to leave right away for the Moon. Uglesnoo also desperately needs Amelia's help. His sister is very sick. Should Amelia venture into outer space?
Review: Although this is the second book in a series, it is easily read as a stand alone story. It would be a wonderful choice for young readers who want a book that is more challenging than a picture book, but who aren't quite ready for chapter books.
The illustrations are bright and colorful, bringing the story to life on each page. There is more text per page than on a simple picture book, but not so much that it would be overwhelming for the young reader.
The theme of this book makes it a great tool for nurturing a young child's interest in science or outer space. It could lead to discussions, research, and lots of learning. If I were still teaching kindergarten, I would definitely use this series as a lead in to a science lesson.
Rating: Five stars
