Mini But Mighty

I have seen Skylander toys at the checkout stands in stores, but I never knew the background story behind them until now. In my case, it might have been advantageous if I had read the four mini-bios on the last four pages of this book before reading the graphic novel itself. That way, I could have gotten a feel for the characters I was about to come across. More than likely, young readers won’t have this same problem, as the characters are licensed from Activision.

 

As the story begins, a new Skylander Academy is opening with its first class of students about to arrive. The celebration is waiting for Flynn to arrive with the students on a dreadyacht. The dreadyacht crash lands, but Flynn is not on board! The students report that Flynn went overboard. Now Tessa and CaliĀ  go searching for him, while the new students go to their first Skylander Academy orientation. Tessa and Calli find a weeruptor (one of the students from the dreadyacht) stuck up in a tree as they search for Flynn, not realizing the weeruptor who exited the dreadyacht was an evil impostor who threw this one overboard so he could take his place at the academy. As the three of them fly after Flynn, Tessa and Calli give give the weeruptor a history lesson on the Portal Masters. Just as the lesson ends, they encounter Troll Bombers who have Flynn. The weeruptor helps Tessa and Calli get Flynn back from the Troll Bombers when who should show up, but -Wildfire to help in the fight. Slowly, the Kaos amnesia spell is wearing off Flynn and Flynn tells his story. Now, they must all go back to the Skylander Academy to track down evil Kaos who is disguised as the weeruptor before he can do any damage.

The title – Mini But Might- describes the weeruptor in this episode of THE KAOS TRAP.
