Customer Reviews

This book is great.

I think this book is great. My favorite character in this book is Tahu. The reason I think this book is great is because it is about lego heroes saving an island called "Mata Nui."

Best Bionicle Book!

I gave this book a five for amazing. I gave it this rating because I think it gives out a lot of information about the six toa, Mata Nui, Makuta, and other important things. This book is about how the six toa, Tahu, Lewa, Kopaka, Onua, Pohatu, and Gali, find all of their Kanohi masks. They have to fight giant beasts and risk their lives to get all of the great masks and to awaken Mata Nui out of a deep slumber.If you want to read about six mighty heroes on an action-packed adventure to save their home island, you should read all the books in this series. Will they succeed or will they fail? Read to find out.

For your Bionicle fan

In the time before time, the Great Spirit, Mata Nui, brought the Matoran to an island paradise. But, Mata Nui's evil brother, Makuta, banished him and took control of the island. And now is the time when great heroes awake, the Toa, sent by Mata Nui to fight the darkness. But, they have arrived without memories, and they need to find the great masks that will give them the powers they need. More than that, they need to learn the three things that give the Matoran their purpose - unity, duty and destiny.My ten-year-old son is a gigantic Bionicle fan, and he was quite happy when I brought this book home to him. In two days, he quickly devoured it, enjoying it thoroughly. I read the book as well, and thought it was quite well written. Though the Bionicles are toys, the book is a good story that can be enjoyed for itself. Anyway, if you have a Bionicle fan and want to do something really nice for him or her, then buy this book. Your Bionicle fan will love it as much as mine did!

my son loved it!

my son is an exceptional reader. he is only six, yet he reads at a fourth grade reading level. it is, however, hard to get him to read books at that level, as they seem to be daunting to him.this book however he burned thru in about an hour and a half. he loved it and is begging for more! if you have a young reader in your house and they are into bionicles, get them this book!

Looking For A Good Book...

For Bionicle fans, Scholastic recently put out a series called the Bionicle Chronicles.There are 4 books in this new series. Each book averages 125 pages. The first in this series is called Tale of the Toa. This book is set in the ancient land of Mata Nui. Makuta, a powerful evil has risen, causing a darkness to cover the land. Six heroes called the Toa, wash ashore the beach of Mata Nui to help save the Matoran people. Their purpose is to restore peace and destroy all of the evil on Mata Nui. I couldn't put this book down, it was so exciting. Throughout this whole story, I felt like I was part of the action. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good action/adventure story. If I could say two words about this book it would be READ IT!
