Return to the Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel

Return to the Isle of the Lost does an excellent job of picking up where they left off with the Disney villain descendants: Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos. Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos have all received mysterious notes to return to the Isle of the Lost before the rising of the new moon. The mysterious change in weather across Auradon and a creature threatening the land also worries the group as they return to their former home to find out what is going on and, more importantly, how to stop it.

Melissa De La Cruz once again delivers an excellent young adult novel that is appropriate for a wide variety of readers. Focused mainly on the teenage children of beloved Disney characters – both hero and villain alike – De La Cruz creates a story that takes us back to Auradon and lets us see what has been going on since the movie. Full of adventure, love, and magic, this book is appropriate for older elementary and middle school readers or anyone who is still young at heart.
