This review is from: Dread Mountain (Deltora Quest, No. 5) (Paperback)

As they travel to Dread Mountain, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine find a clear spring. But an ominous sign makes them unsure. They are thirsty, and out of water. They drink, and later discover the entire truth of Dreaming Spring. They also meet the Kin, a fabled creature thought to be extinct. The Kin take them to the mountain, but their only young follows. Can they care for her, and themselves, too? She proves to be helpful, and as they learn about what happened on the mountain, they are imprisoned by the Dread Gnomes, Gnomes that live on the Mountain, under the rule of a toad-like creature, Gellick. The fifth gem, the emerald, is inbedded in his brow.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dread Mountain (Deltora Quest, No. 5) (Paperback)

Yes I do like this book. It is a great book for whoever likes adventure. It is confusing if you don't read them in order. It has 128 pages. This book is hard to put down. Once you start reading you can't stop.

My 9 year old grandaughter loves this series. The 1st one was on her required reading list for entering 4th grade & initially she didn't want to read it because it "looked scary". But now she is finishing the series. She has read & loved all of the Harry Potters & most of the Chronicles of Narnia. This series appeals to these fans.
