I'll make sure to get every single one of these books.

Bionicle, the Machine of Doom takes place before Skylanders.

Eon is in physical form, because in the book, there are some pictures, and you see Eon sitting on a throne.

From what I've read, they putting lore in the world of Skylands. They kind of go over how Eon brought Spyro from his world, to Skylands, which according to the book, is "the center of the universe." Some of the chapter names make mention of places like "The Mabu Market," and getting something called, "The Chattering Key."

I really want these books (All of them) They shall look nice in my collection

*buys The Machine of Doom* *Sees that Glumshanks is in it* *sighs with immeasurable satisfaction*

One book says 80 pages, another says 160. It says for ages 4-8. That just doesn't add up. My son is 6.5, well above his reading level...and I have never given him a 160 page book to read. So, unless it is all pictures...sounds like a bit much for the age range it claims to be intended for.

It's probably a chapter book, normally they use rather large print so 100+ pages would condense down to a grown up book like 30 pages. and it probably does have a lot of pictures. and if the writing/words are simple enough a 4 year old that can read would probably read it just fine. but if the kid cant read good yet, its probably more for age 8, depends on the kid (i could read at 4yos)
i kind of know about this stuff, its apart of one of the jobs i have

Just read the book, and I was surprised that

where did you read it?

Shortly after the beginning of the book.

where did you get the book?

I bought the Kindle edition. You can read a sample of it on Amazon.

Same^ It seems this is before Skylanders:Spyro's Adventure

It apparently is, since Eon has his physical body.

What age/reading level do you think it is good for?

At least 10.

Thanks I was hoping it was not to childish for my son.

Yeah its a chapter book.

A whole bunch of expected and completely new books.

I did have a paragraph typed out but my connection dropped when I posted the thread the first time.

Anyone else got anything about these new books? I'm especially interested in the 18 and 21 books sets released this September as that many books will not have been published by that time.

That is very interesting.

Interesting. If I do get a book it will have to be a proper novel. Not a baby activity book.
