Deltora quest by Emily Rodda

Fans of the eight books set in Deltora, will be thrilled to see all eight books brought together in one handsome hard cover volume, celebrating the 21st anniversary of the Deltora Quest books. Those who don't know the series will be drawn to the beautiful cover and will want to find out about Leif, Barda and Jasmine the three companions starring in the stories and the quest that they are on to find the seven lost gems of the Belt of Deltora.

They face danger from the evil Shadow Lord and their journey to find the missing jewels leads them through the kingdom of magic and monsters to  the Shadowlands, a strange and unknown place. It is only when all the gems are placed in the belt that the country will be safe from the Shadow Lord, and they will need all their ingenuity and intelligence to solve the mysteries and puzzles that will give them a complete belt.

This is high quality fantasy and would be an ideal gift for children who love adventure and magical lands, as well as a welcome volume on library shelves.

Themes: Magic, Monsters, Good and evil, Jewels.
