People say you should never judge a book by its cover, but I do. I saw this book, tiny as it was, and thought, "Psht. I can read this in a day." The thing is, I did read it in a day. Once I picked it up, I could NOT put it down, and if you like a good story, you won't be able to either.
Deltora Quest tells the story of Lief, who journeys through distant lands in search of the stones his people need to defeat the villain who has taken over the land of Del. Lief and his two companions, Barda and Jasmine, use their collective skills to defeat the obstacles in their path. What I love so much about this book is that each character brings something special to the journey, and each obstacle helps Lief get closer to his goal, but these obstacles also bring him closer to his friends. They each learn about themselves, but also learn about the many different creatures and people that make up the world around them, which is what makes this a great book for any student. Out of all the great features of the book, my favorite feature is the puzzles. In each book, there is at least one puzzle the characters have to solve, and silly as it might seem, I LOVE PUZZLES. As soon as I see one, I immediately stop reading and ponder the puzzle until I either figure it out or can't take it anymore and read ahead for the answer. If you are like this too, try it out! And thank you, dear student, for the recommendation!
