Customer Reviews

All Hail The Jedera Adventure!

The Jedera Adventure is my absolute favorite Vesper Holly book! It's Vesper Holly, the headstrong 18-year-old my friends and I adored when we read the series, back in her most exotic and one of her wildest adventures. It's been years since I read this in middle school but Vesper, Brinnie, Helvitius, Maleesh, Jenna, the Tawarik (including a blue-skinned chieftain called An-Jalil) still shine, along with all the cast of the Vesper Holly adventures. I recommend this series for anyone who likes adventures- with the occasional hint of romance.

Best of the Vesper Adventures

I've read all the Vesper Holly books (and ADORED each of them) but I'd have to say that this is my favorite. (Followed closely by the El Dorado adventure.) Fantastic plot, funny, exciting, and it gets even more clear that Helvetius is infauated with Vesper - a twist to the series that I found intriguing. I'd love to see a book in this series where they had to work together to solve some mysterious caper - but then I'd love to see another book in this series period. Amazing books, and this is the best.

A very entertaining book

Lloyd Alexander is one of the best authors of our time, and this book solidifies that fact.

This was a very nice book

"The Jedera Adventure" was a very good book I thought. Each character had their own personality and good or bad traits about them. I have not read the other Vesper books so sometimes I was a bit lost when people would be referred to from the other books in this series, but as I would read further it was easy to catch up. Lloyd Alexander did a nice job of letting you know subtley what that character was about. This is a good book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes andventure stories.

Beautifully Done.

One of his best book. Can't believe how spectacular. Vesper Holly is a great role model
