Editorial Reviews

Disney Channel's Descendants features an arresting plot, a varied cast of characters, and both striking plot twists and light moments, so it's no surprise that this much-anticipated Disney Channel summer movie also qualifies as a great candidate to become a popular novel for junior readers. The 112-page hardcover fantasy tracks four children of evil parents after their release from an island prison to become "normal" prep school students. A memorable story about choices.
