5.0 out of 5 stars Saving the Past and the Future, May 20, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rowan and the Zebak (Rowan of Rin, 4) (Paperback)

Across the sea lies the enemy. Unfortunately, so is Rowan's kidnapped sister. Rowan is forced to go and save his sister in the midst of his mother's marriage to Strong John of the orchard. He brings a group of oddities, among which is Zeel, the Traveler/Zebak girl, and the Maris/ fish-man Perlain, to the wastelands of the Zebak lands (My personal favorite character is Zeel because of her dark past and her approach to life). I loved this book because of it's fast pace and it's great plot intertwined with Rowan's lessons of bravery. I did not like the slower beginning, but once you get past that, it is a great book.
Rowan and the Zebak, written by Emily Rodda, is a fast paced, 3rd person limited book perfect for readers from the ages of 9 to about 14. It is the 4th book in the action genre that is the Rowan of Rin series (consisting of Rowan and the Travelers and Rowan and Keeper of the Crystal). There's nothing really "questionable" about the book, except Sheba's past.
Will Rowan save his sister? What will he find in the land of the Zebak? Read and find out.

I originally purchased the Rowan of Rin series for my daughter but soon found myself wrapped up in the story of young Rowan and looked forward to bedtime so we could read some more! We both enjoyed the books and hope Emily Rodda plans to continue the series.
