A new Deltora Quest series!

I got this book when it first came out and read it straight away.I absoloutely loved it and highly reccomend it.Lief is trying to be a great ruler, but can't, not with the famine and death in Deltora.But with a perilious map, our heroes set out to destroy the four sisters that are causing the deaths in Deltora.An exceptional addition to the previous books and is reccomended to fans who want a little more adventure in their reading.Well done Emily Rodda!I like this book as much as all the others, this is the best Deltora series and I say it proudly, but after all, Deltora Quets hasn't finished, not yet.

THE BEST DARN BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it!! if you want a good book to read, buy it. trust me, you will love it. if there were infiniti stars i'd give it that.

Best Book Yet

If your a Deltora Quest fan, then this book is for you. The plot gets even twisted and even more engrossing. If you are into the series, and you don't read this book- you are missing out! I can't wait til' the next book comes out.

Exciting first book in a new Deltora adventure.

Even though the Shadow Lord has been banished, his evil influence in Deltora lingers. There is a famine in Del, and the people are starving. Lief is trying to be a good king, but he doesn't know how to help his people. Then he, Jasmine, and Barda discover that the Shadow Lord left behind a hidden evil -- the Four Sisters -- and that this evil is causing the famine in Del. With only a fragment of an ancient map, Lief, Jasmine, and Barda must set out on another quest to save their land. They must find the last seven dragons in Deltora to help them destroy the Four Sisters, but their quest is difficult and full of peril. Readers who enjoyed the first two Deltora Quest series are sure to enjoy this first book in the newest Deltora series as well. I highly recommend this exciting adventure to all of Emily Rodda's many fans. I was a bit worried that a third Deltora series would be overdoing it, but after reading this book, I couldn't wait to read the next one. It's just as good as the previous two Deltora series.

Dragon's Nest - Another thrilling adventure

Dragon's Nest kept me hanging until the last word. Lief is back, and he's ready for action, well, sort of.An evil menace called the "four sisters" spreads across Deltora, and until Lief, Barda, and Jasmine find a torn map of Doran Dragonlover's they know nothing of this. They must stop it, and the only way is to find seven mystical dragons and travel across Deltora. And their first stop is Dragon's Nest.Will they make it? Also see: The Deltora Book of Monsters
