After defeating Lord Electrocucius, Buggy has become a Warrior for the Greater Good of Mankind - picking up where she last left off and ready for another adventure.

Now Buggy and her brother, Frank, have discovered a theory presented by two very prestigious scientists, Cedar and Cypress Deadwood. This theory states that if one of the Gateways to the Nexus is opened (like it was in her previous adventure), the universe would become unbalanced and chaos would erupt.

With the help of her best friends, Sid and Veronica, Buggy deciphers messages, and goes on an adventure to face enemies far worse then any she has met in the past. Fuelled by curiosity and her wild sense of adventure, she embarks on another journey to save the world.

Overall, this was a good book. The plot was very interesting and the characters were well-developed. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book in the series, BUGGY CRENSHAW AND THE BUNGLER'S PARADOX, but it was still good. It took a long time for me to get into the story, but once I got about 100 pages in, it started to pick up and was quite enjoyable.

This is a good book (and series) for younger teens, as it really stimulates the imagination.… (plus d'informations)

Good and evil always have and forever will battle against each other. Warriors fight constantly on the behalf of the Greater Good, but why don't we see anything that goes on? Well, because all battles occur in hollows, and currently there is quite the battle occurring in Lloyd's Hollow, a place where magic runs rampant and dreams are just for the imagination.

Days before her twelfth birthday, imaginative Buggy Crenshaw's life changes forever when her father blows up his garage while experimenting with his latest invention. Having upset the fire department and many neighbors, the Crenshaw family decides that it would be best to move, and they just so happen to find a home in the quaint little village of Lloyd's Hollow. Yes, the same place where that epic battle is waging between good and evil. When Buggy arrives, she thinks all of the weird things that are occurring, such as the dragonfly in her light shade coming alive and the really weird looking principal, are just her overactive imagination. But when she learns that all these things are real, from her new friends, Sid and Veronica, Buggy begins to wonder why her family had to move here.

As the days continue, Buggy learns that it wasn't chance that her family ended up in Lloyd's Hollow. She was meant to be there and she is destined to embark on a dangerous journey to set evil in its rightful place. Along with Sid and Veronica, Buggy learns much about her newfound magical abilities and sets off on an adventure so crazy that not even her wildest dreams could have created it all.

Talk about wildest dreams! This book was great. It didn't take me any time at all to get sucked into the adventure, and I was incredibly impressed with the imagination and creativity that went into writing this book.

I really enjoyed how Buggy seemed to take on the role of author as the story progressed. She really paid attention to the little details that make a story interesting and didn't spend much time talking about herself. I loved how she took a leadership role and didn't complain about the obstacles that were presented to her. She also made the book very comical when she described different events. I also loved Buggy's dad, who was probably one of the quirkiest characters I have ever met. He was fun and I could totally relate to the fact that he thought he was the next great inventor. I mean, who hasn't thought that their idea could revolutionize life as we know it? He definitely made the book memorable, but Buggy was definitely my favorite character.

The actual plot of the story was magical. I loved how the author took a classic thing (the battle between good and evil) and added a magical twist to it that made it one unforgettable adventure. I felt like this book had the same kind of adventure feel as the Rick Riordan books have, which made the story even more enjoyable.

I really don't think there was anything that the author could have improved on in this creative and imaginable novel. I am definitely looking forward to further books, especially the sequel, BUGGY CRENSHAW AND THE DEADWOOD PRINCIPLE: EVOLUTION, which is currently available.… (plus d'informations)

This is the second book in the Buggy Crenshaw series and it starts off right where the last one ended. This one is even more magic filled than the last. They already defeated one evil, but another one is rising. But what happens when Mother Nature turns on everyone? Only Buggy, Sid and Veronica can fight the evil and save the world...again.

I really liked the first book in this series, but this one just couldn't hold my attention. It was well written and had tons of adventure and magic and suspense, but it couldn't hold my attention and i can think of only one reason why. The characters are kids. I thought it gave the first book a nice spin and made it original, but now it's just getting a little annoying figuring things out three chapters before the main character does. I think this would be great for younger readers, but anyone who gets easily annoyed by ignorance you might want to pick another series.… (plus d'informations)

Buggy's dad is an inventor, but his inventions don't always turn out as planned. His inventions tend to blow up in his face, literally. So when he finally blows up the garage beyond repair their family is forced to move. Loyd's Hollow is a strange, magical place, but something dark is about to happen. And twelve year old Buggy Crenshaw may be the only person who can stop it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was so fun going on this journey with little kids. But the thing is, to really understand what's happening you have to throw all reason out the door and open your mind to anything that could happen. You have to believe that dragonflies can materialize off of lamps and fly around, that charm necklaces can be magical and the animals on them are living. This is the perfect book to read if you want to just escape to another world for a while, and i can't wait to read the other books in the series.… (plus d'informations)
