Corinne is really coming into herself in this book, and we get more hints of her jumbie side. As Corrine tries to find a way to stop him, she must also deal with the prejudices of some of the people who live on the island who hate jumbies- and are afraid of Corrine for her heritage.įilled with action/adventure and a magical world, this book is a quick and engaging read. The storms are the work of Huracan, a god who is more powerful than the jumbies. When storm after storm hits her island, she finds the jumbies as frightened as the people are.
Jumbies are magical beings with different abilities and powers, while Corinne originally thought they were just stories to frighten children, she has since learned that they are all too real. Here, Corinne, a young girl who lives with her father and is half-jumbie, is coming into her own as she again defends her island.
There is a big cast in this series, and the first two books really introduce them well.
As a third book, I would recommend reading the first two books before leaping into this one, mainly so that you can see the characters grow (but also because they are fantastic reads). THE JUMBIE GOD'S REVENGE is an even more amazing installment in a middle grade fantasy/horror series.
