Críticas:

""Nielsen cleverly keeps the action and humor flowing from one silly obstacle to the next... This quickly addictive page-turner also entices readers with many sensory details, such as tenacious Gripping Mud, surprisingly tasty turnip juice and a tingly invisibility potion gone wrong... Definitely a series to invest in... (Fantasy. 9-12)" - Kirkus" - Kirkus

"All-in-all this book would be great for upper-elementary and middle school readers and you and your children will find the book to be full of fun, adventure and a bit of suspense as well.The book was great and is one that I would highly recommend! " - Dad of Divas' Reviews

" I enjoyed the humor that flowed from one silly obstacle to the next as Elliot tries to meet the demands of the angry Pixies. This is a fun book to read and hard to put down, a real page turner." - Songberries

.".".a fun adventure for young readers...stuffed with tongue-in-cheek humor, puns and pre-teen humor. Especially delightful is the "surfer-girl" language of the pixies and fairies. Tucked between crucial cliff-hangers are author-asides to distract but delight the unsuspecting reader such as "Dear Reader, We all have a voice inside our head ... usually when Elliot listens to the voice he's very glad he did ...."

"Elliot and the Pixie Plot" can be read alone, but it is well worth going back to the first in the Underworld Chronicles series, "Elliot and the Goblin War," to fit the pieces and characters together. Surely, Elliot fans will be seeking more adventures of Elliot and the off-beat cast of characters." - Deseret News" - Deseret News

Reseña del editor:

An entire floor of St. Phobics Hospital for Really Scared Children has been set aside just for readers of this book. You may wish to take a minute before you start reading and reserve yourself a bed there.

As you read, you may begin to understand myctophobia (mic-tofo- be-a), or the fear of darkness. However, do not expect this book to help you with arachibutyrophobia (a-rak-i-something-be-a), the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.

If you can't get yourself to St. Phobics, then get every lamp, flashlight, and lantern you can find and drag them into your bedroom. Turn them all on. You'll need them until you're certain there is nothing lurking in the dark.

At least, that's what Elliot wishes he had done.
