I'm sad to say that this is the last in the series, and it's just as good as the first one. There's a competition between the different lands as to who will win the Warrior Games, and Claudette is desperate for it to be her and her mates. Given that one of those mates, her aspiring-princess friend Marie, is the daughter of one of the over-protective judges, however... suddenly the Warrior Games becomes less about facing monsters and more about safe and boring tasks like churning butter. (My very favourite part: the panel where the team from the Sea Kingdom is trying to milk the cow and it's not producing milk fast enough for them: "Hurry up, land manatee!") But all is not as it seems, and there are, luckily for Claudette, dastardly plots afoot. The three main kids team up as usual, and the focus is back on how they pool their own particular strengths: Claudette's murderous nature, Marie's gift for politeness and diplomacy, and Gaston's talent for magic and gelato. Special commendation, too, goes to the Sea Queen's twin bitch daughters, who are evil and hilarious.

This has been a delightful series. I'm so pleased I came across it.
