Product Description
In this adaptation of the four-part Season Three finale, Avatar fans will finally discover if Aang really can save the world from the evil Fire Lord! Told through first person narratives, readers will get the inside scoop from their favorite characters, and hear what's going on in their heads as they help Aang battle the ultimate enemy. Organzied into short chapters, this book is especially suited for middle-grade readers, but it can be enjoyed by Avatar fans of any age. Also included is a totally exclusive Q & A with Avatar creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, as well as some of their early sketches of the Avatar world and characters. This full-color interior will feature illustrations based on the episodes, and an original, pull-out poster!

 The Finale Was Worth The Wait! September 11, 2008
S. K. Magness (Hayward, California USA)
This was the culmination of the series. very well done. I found it to be not as predictable as anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed the ending. Enough lose ends were left to allow a short reprise, if necessary. Excellent interpretation of Asian culture throughout the story line. As "Mako's" last performance it is a fitting memorial: although he died before these episodes were produced or aired.
Well done Nickelodeon!

This was a gift for my 8 yr old and he was very happy with it. It offered a different perspective on things he had already seen on the live episodes, and he enjoyed that.
 Rather disappointed at Nick August 15, 2008

The fact that this book was released two months before the series finale befuddles me, along with Nickelodeon's retarded scheduling of the episodes and their general mess. Brian and Mike should also be ashamed of themselves for allowing this tripe to be published. It only gives them and the Avatar franchise a bad name.
Much of the season finale was spectacular, though there were so many questions left unanswered. What happened to Long Feng, Azula, the Earth King, Ursa, Chit Sang, Haru, Teo, etc etc etc? There were a few things contradictory as well (if Ty Lee was at the Boiling Rock, she would not have been able to make friends with the Kyoshian Warriors, as these girls were being held somewhere else) and I'm surprised Mai's uncle (the prison warden) didn't kill himself after the prisoners escaped - he said that he'd sooner die than see a prisoner escape. Seasons 1 and 2 were good. Season 3 had some great parts, but I got the feeling that the writers were becoming very lazy/sloppy as this particular season unfolded.

My son really liked this book. The story is like the movie, even including pictures from it. I liked the little details, like the paper looking old. Would suggest it to anyone who likes Avatar the Last Airbender.

i would say to those people who were disappointed with this book, that i think they mainly bought this for the spoilers.. i would not speak too hastily that this book left many questions unanswered because by the time i publish this review, i would not have had the chance to see the finale episodes of avatar. however, judging by the fact that these books are meant for ages not too old enough to make a review then i would guess that these people who have submitted these reviews before me are just impatient or frustrated. i have read some of the books similar to this and they do maintain their style of writing. that is, purely for children and not thorough nor detailed. but it indeed cured me of my spoiler thirst.. (haha)
with regards to the book itself, i think it was beautifully done. i repeat, i have not seen the real episode itself when i wrote this but it certainly gives us something to imagine. the books similar to this also had different points of view as for each chapter. for example, chapter one: zuko, then the whole chapter would be entirely based from zuko's point of view. it is quite interesting because it gives more chance for character development. as ive said earlier, the book remains faithful to other books similar to this.
i do not have any problems with this book. I would recommend it to any AVATAR FAN at heart.
