You Won't Put It Down!

This book deserves 50 stars...it is even better than Harry Potter! In this book, Leif, Barda, and Jasmine will face Sand Beasts and the dreaded Hive. You will love this book if you like adventure, fantasy, and monsters. This is the 4th book in the series of Deltora Quest. Read them all!!!

The fourth gem

The party of three is traveling to the Shifting Sands for the fourth gem, when they decide to enter the Rithmere Games. Great food and housing for practically free. They wonder why all of Deltora isn't entering. They find out the hard way. The Games are a fighting game, with nothing prohibited. Jasmine comes out Champion, while Lief and Barda are finalists. Now they have enough money to fund the rest of their trip, but when they are tricked, what will happen? By help of a stranger called Doom, they are able to continue to the Shifting Sands, where many new dangers await them.

very interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is great if you like......fighting,ecsitment and that sort of stuff(like me). In the Shifting Sands the boss is a pile of bones and stuff. I know it sounds simpel to beat but you have to put steem at the bottem,or it will burn your eyes!! Thats all bye

How whoud you like to be in a desert full of monsters?

Lief, Barda and Jasmine left the city of rats in flames, they have to go to the Shifting Sands. I liked it because the gradian is with them at all times. The Gery Guards fellow them in to The Shfiting Sands. Lief most be brave to risk his life for Del.

The thrilling Deltora Quest series continues.

Lief, Barda, and Jasmine have left the City of the Rats behind. Now they trek across the endless, barren plain outside the city, determined to find a village so they can obtain the food and supplies needed to travel on to their next destination - the Shifting Sands. They are lucky enough to find a village - but Rithmere is a very strange village. There, the three companions enter a contest in the hopes of winning money to purchase supplies - unknowing that they have entered a brutal fighting match. Even if they emerge triumphant, they will have to evade capture by the evil Shadow Lord's Gray Guards, and, worst of all, face the terrible danger found in the Shifting Sands. The thrilling Deltora Quest fantasy series continues with this exciting book. I can't wait to read the next story, which will take Lief, Barda, and Jasmine to Dread Mountain, where the fifth gem of the Belt of Deltora will be found. I reccomend this book to all readers who enjoyed the first three books in the series.
