The stakes have never been higher, and you’ve never seen
squeegees do this before! IT is a wild and slightly unsanitary ride as Spencer,
Daisy, and the rebels find themselves chased by Mr. Clean’s new and terrifying
breed of toxite—the Sweepers. Time is short. With the fable Manualis Custodem
in hand, Spencer must figure out how to summon the founding witches if they
ever hope to mop up and save education.
Much like the previous 3 novels in the Janitors series, this
is full of adventure and has some great morals for kids within its pages. One
of my favorite quotes from this book was, “Winning doesn’t mean we all go home
safe, that is a thing of fairy tales and bedtime stories. Real life will demand
much more of us, and we have to stand ready to pay whatever price is needed to
gain the victory. Because victory will come to those who fight for what is
right. It won’t come without its fair share of pain and suffering. No victory
comes without sacrifice. But it will come. We just have to stay the course.”
That’s really the crux of this book. We’re heading into the final innings of
the series, and things are getting serious. Spencer is the only hope for the
rebels and must learn to trust his instincts to save the people he has come to
rely and care for as well as save education and the future.
I give it a 3.5 out of 5
