Editorial Review:

Score is a young street kid from New York city. Helaine is a fierce girl-warrior from the medieval planet of Ordin. And Pixel's a virtual reality junkie from Calomir. These seemingly ordinary kids have no idea of their magical talents until an unknown force takes them far, far away from their homelands. Their magical journeys take them to strange planets all over the Diadem universe. Danger awaits them at every turn as they battle sea monsters, cunning sorcerers, trolls, giant insects, fearsome carnivorous plants, and skeleton armies. They also make a few friends along the way: Oracle the guide who speaks in rhyme, a handsome unicorn called Darkstar, Shanara the wizard and her sleepy red panda, and another magic user named Jenna. Score, Helaine, and Pixel become fierce magical warriors as they learn to use their powerful magical abilities. But the quarrelsome trio don't always get along. Banding together is their key to survival and discovering who brought them here. Can they find their way to friendship before the ultimate battle with the evil Diadem rulers?

Waited a long time, and glad of it. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Honestly? I adored this book. I read it when I was what, 9? Now I'm 17 and it still had me grinning from ear to ear, including on the very last page. Peel doesn't write in that annoying Dick and Jane style, and so even though it's a kids book it's enjoyable for everyone.

The three voyage to Helaine's home, where her father is under attack. Even though the welcome is not warm, the trio decide to help. Pixel goes on a quest with the peasent girl Jenna they discover, who was almost stoned as a witch and appears quite as powerful as the others. Score and Helaine head in another direction as Helaine strives to please her father.

There was also romance in a completely non-cheesy way that I loved. Pixel and Jenna immediately hit in off, and there were plenty of Score/Helaine moments, which kept me grinning. It zipped by, and I cannot wait for the Book of Oceans to be out. Read this. If the style changed a bit, it's because the author changed, and as most of the original readers are probably about my age, I bet you'll still love it.

Editorial Review:

Score, Pixel, and two unicorn friends accompany Helaine to Ordin - a medieval planet of high-brow nobles, oppressed peasants, and endless battles over land. Upon finding her home, Castle Votrin, under siege by the Border Lords, Helaine vows to make it up to her father. With help from Jenna - a pretty, spell-working healer with a crush on Pixel - they struggle against angry villagers, giant insects, and pillaging soldiers to find a way to save Helaine's home and her family honour

This book is great! It's like a puzzle, and only in the end it all fits together. I stopped and looked at the puzzles a few times and tried to figure them out. It is a great book. You won't want to stop reading it. Ever.

Editorial Review:

The first book of the Diadem:Worlds of Magic series focuses on Score, Helaine, and Pixel's thrilling search for who or what has brought them to Treen, a planet on the outer ring of the Diadem. Clues lie inside the tower of a cunning wizard and within a stranger's rhyming riddles. But the quarrelsome trio is ever doubtful of whom to trust-even among themselves. Danger awaits them at every turn as they battle angry mobs, bloodthirsty wolves, and a conniving wizard. Yet their toughest challenge is learning to band together as a team, their only hope against the perilous spells of their one true enemy.

Editorial Review:

Score falls victim to a deadly illness with only one cure: stopping the mysterious person behind this magical attack. Determined to save their friend, Helaine and Pixel go to Score's hometown, the Earth city of New York, to seek out his attacker, who is using Score's most precious item to hurt him: his mother's amulet.

Finding the amulet proves to be difficult on Earth-an unfamiliar world of cars, skyscrapers, and guns for Helaine and Pixel-where their magical powers are severely weakened. Luckily, the trio stumbles upon a wealthy businessman who promises to help them in return for curing his disabled daughter-but is he really on their side? And then there's Bad Tony, Score's abusive father, fresh from jail, who shows up with gun-toting thugs to kidnap his critically-ill son. Will Helaine and Pixel find the amulet in time to save their dying friend?

Great Book; Damned Publishers 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The Diadem series has been my favorite book since I was ten years old. I am now fifteen and still remember almost every little detail. To bad he finished the series so abruptly, right?

Then again, he didn't. John Peel has written the seventh book and is still working on book eight. The only reason why the series is not sold in stores is because the publishing companies refuse to publish the new books, saying that it did not sell well enough to make more, and they discontinued the already published ones.

I found a website that has a petition that you can sign to put the books back on the market as well as the seventh and eighth. The site is:
