5.0 out of 5 stars Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal, March 30, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal (Rowan of Rin) (Hardcover)

I thought this book was almost as good as the first Rowan story (on the mountain). I liked this story because it had things that happened when I least expected it. It had riddles, which i really like. It gave me a good reason to stay up late! It took me about a week to read. My brother and I both think Rowan is a great series.

This review is from: Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal (Rowan of Rin #3) (Paperback)

Rowan vainly tries to make himself strong and witty, but can't and won't not with his weak body and pale, thin face.In this particular book, Rowan's mother must find all keepers of crystal before the original one dies.If the original dies before a new keeper is found, Zebak, vicious and cruel warriors who love to kill will take over the lands.

When Rowan's mother falls sick at her destination, it is up to Rowan, and Rowan alone, to choose the next keeper.Will Rowan be able to find the next keeper before the Zebak take over the territory?Read this wonderful story of the third book in the Rowan of Rin series!It's another of Rodda's classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rodda's Masterpiece, November 2, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal (Rowan of Rin) (Paperback)

In Australia, Emily Rodda is one of the most renowned children's authors. She has written many fantasy books for children/ young adults and this amaizing book is just one example.
Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal is a book in the Rowan series. It has the same feel and quality as all the other books. Rowan, a boy with special powers, is brought to decide who will be the Keeper of the Crystal. He journeys with them to learn their attitude, personality and abilities. But one of those that he journeys with desires the Crystal for evil. The unique story will possess you.
Once you have finishes this book, it is safe to say you will read it again but be pleased that Emily Rodda has written so many books. I can also guarantee this will not be the last of her books you will read. This book encourages you to read the rest of the famous Rowan books, or the very extensive and popular Deltora Quest series.
Maybe you havn't read any books like this before, but once you have read one, you will most likely read one after another. So add this to your reading list, and you will understand why young adult fantasy is so popular.
