StargazerAlexa faces down her greatest threat in the thrilling conclusion to The Land of Elyon series from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Tenth City. When last we saw Alexa Daley, she had defeated a threat in her homeland and was sailing with Roland Warvold across the Lonely Sea. She had no idea what adventures awaited her . . . until now. After a tragic attack by an evil force, Alexa and her friend Yipes are stranded in a strange community known as The Five Stone Pillars. Each pillar of rock has its own secrets . . . and its own challenges. As darkness descends, Alexa must risk everything to defeat it—even if it means taking to the skies. Praise for The Land of Elyon series “Readers will easily identify with intrepid Alex, who tells her own story, and her tale is simple and exciting enough to appeal to both the usual fantasy crowd and children who may not otherwise be genre readers.” —Booklist “Entertaining, accessible fantasy . . . Double identities, mysterious codes, and Alexa’s magical gift of speaking with animals all enliven the plot, and the highly cinematic writing style will allow readers to visualize her adventures clearly.” —School Library Journal “A trip with Alexa Daley through the Valley of Thorns is well worth the effort.” —Kirkus Reviews “Truly an amazing storyteller, Patrick Carman’s imagination runs full steam, never threatening to quit or run dry. Each chapter promises new excitement and even more colorful characters.” —KidsReads.com |
