ISLE OF THE LOST, by Melissa De La Cruz

The story: All the villains from all the Disney movies have been defeated and banished to the Isle of the Lost, they're prevented from using magic. When Carlos De Vil (son of Cruella) accidentally makes a hole in the dome that keeps magic out, black magic comes back to life in the form of the Dragon's Eye, Maleficent's scepter. She sends her daughter, Mal, along with Carlos, Jay (Jafar's son) and Evie (daughter of the Evil Queen from Snow White) to retrieve it. But the thing might really be cursed: could it be that the four teens might turn into....friends???

June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence PG; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult PG; GLBT content G; adult themes (parental indifference) PG; overall rating PG.

Liz's comments: I found this book tiresome, although I'm as thrilled about a good fantasy story as anyone. This didn't go anywhere for the first 100 pages, and even when it finally found a plot line, my overall impression was still...meh. However, since it's Disney, there will probably be an audience for it. Just not me. :P
