City of Rats

"City of Rats" This was a very good book, this book talks about a world of magic. The main characters objective is to find the seven deltora quests. This book city of rats is the third book of this version of the total seven books. In each book there are different quests and the quests are to find the seven gems of deltora. This book city of rats you go to a city fill with rats, and also a humongous snake eating the rats in the city to feed him. The shadow master or deltora's rival is the one who stole the topaz and the snake is guarding it. And for each gem the main character in this book gets a new element of power like the one before this one is the red ruby, which has the poewr to burn things up.

awsome action!

This was my second favorite book out of the whole series, if you like action books this is the one for you, if you like magical quests for thing with the power to blow up the earth this is the book for you. There's clif hianging scenes where you have to sarafice your life to save somebody elses. I loved the book a lot, I urge you to buy it and find out for your self how good it is.(just buy it and like it)

Dragonlance for the younger crowd!

This series of books not only made my 4th grader who loves to read disappear into it's pages for days on end by also entranced my 5th grader who thinks comic books are real books. The most wonderful part of this series is it's complete lack of that boy/girl mushy stuff that quite frankly my kids don't need yet another dose of!

The quest continues.

Lief, Barda, and Jasmine have survived the treacherous Lake of Tears. Now, they must journey on to the City of the Rats, where the third gem of the Belt of Deltora is hidden. Along the way, they run into trouble and are captured by the inhabitants of a mysterious city called Noradz. In a place with so many strange rules and customs, it's only a matter of time before the three companions make a mistake and are punished. They escape and make their way out of the city, but ahead of them lies their goal - the horrifying City of the Rats. Long ago, the city was overrun by evil, and the few surviving inhabitants fled. Now, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine must survive the brutal onslaught of rats at the city's entrance, and if they make it through, they must face the horrible Guardian of the city. I reccomend this book to all readers who enjoyed the first two books in the Deltora Quest series.
