Goodreads synopsis:
When Jorie and Rufus planned another summer of adventuring, they didn’t plan on sharing it with a snooty, stuck-up, bossy 10-year-old Nigel. When the Wizard Grootmonya calls on Jorie to remedy another disaster in Cabrynthius — the theft of the Magic Stones, Jorie grabs the Gold Key and the three children descend to the enchanted land beneath the Tarn. There they find more extraordinary adventures that bring them face to face again with the wicked Lord Fodomalk and his evil butterfly. Their troubles grow as the fiendish dragon not only snatches Nigel, but confines him to a cold dank cell with the illusive Professor Schrinch (yes, he’s still alive and as sneaky as ever). Jorie and Rufus — and the persnickety Nigel — are joined by all their old friends in this rollicking tale of magic, strange impersonations, and hair-raising exploits. They help Master Nigel with his confusion of the world beneath the Tarn and discover strengths in their new friend that even he didn’t know he had. Aside from spurts of jealousy from Rufus and impatience from Jorie, Nigel learns about bravery and friendship as he struggles with belief and enchantment. Follow this feisty threesome back to the evil, dark world of Shyloxia and the beautiful, bright world of Cabrynthius, where live all manner of creatures, naughty and nice. Do they recover the Magic Stones? What does that Gold Key open for them? Do they survive the shadowy world of nasty characters? Do Jorie and Rufus accept Nigel into their world? And what about Chook — that beloved baby dragon? And if you want to know how Jorie and Rufus survived their first summer adventures, pick up your copy of Jorie and the Magic Stones.

A: This book is about Jorie when she's called back to Cabrynthius to find the Magic Stones. She has to go to a place called the Cave of Fire and she has to unlock a door to find a magic blanket. By then, a boy named Nigel is captured by the evil wizard Lord Fodomalk. They go on the magic blanket to meet up with the great wizard Grootmonya and save Nigel.
Q: What would you rate this book? Why?
A: 4.5 stars. Because it was a really good book. I really liked the plot. I like the drawing style of the cover.
Q: What did you like about this book? What did you dislike?
A: That even though the evil wizard is evil, he has a daughter (Anwyn) who is really cool and who was in love with Greddan. I like the magic stuff too.
