Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel by Melissa de la Cruz

Once upon a time . . .

All the evil villains of Disney fame were exiled to the Isle of the Lost.  There they are trapped without magic for all of time.

Sixteen years have passed and now these villain's children are trying to live up to their parents' evil deeds.

Jay is the son of Jafar who tried to rule all of Agrabah, is a pickpocket and thief who finds the merchandise for his father's store.

Carlos, the son of Cruella de Vil, lives in terror of his mother and her rages.

Evie, daughter of Snow White's Wicked Stepmother, has been taught by her mother to be beautiful and to capture a prince.

And Mal, Maleficent's daughter, is the undisputed "queen" of the kids just as her mother rules the island and its villains.

Together they go on a quest to find the Dragon Eye Sceptre in the hopes of breaking the dome keeping all magic out of the Isle of the Lost . . .


This is the prequel novel to the Disney movie The Descendants.  It was a fairly well done novel.  The premise is intriguing the and book does better than the movie with character and plot development.  It's a fun read for anyone who ever thought the villains seemed more interesting than the heroes of the Disney movies.
