Aang, the much-loved hero of Nickelodeon's hit animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, takes readers on an exciting and interactive journey through his thrilling world. Earth. Air. Fire. Water. These are the four nations that lived in harmony until the Fire Nation attacked. For the next hundred years, war raged across the globe.

for his son, but it's really mostly just a very short guide to some of the people, places, events, and cultures from the series. If you've watched the show (and have even a passing familiarity with the sequel), there's absolutely nothing new here, and I'm not sure it really captures the series' spark. But it is pretty, with lots of colorful illustrations and some fun little inserts, including a couple of very cool postcards from places depicted in the show. To be honest, it's probably as much a collector's item as it is a book. But it's not a bad collector's item.
