Product Description
THE BATTLE CONTINUES.The struggle of good versus evil continues as Bobby Pendragon follows Saint Dane to the territory of Zadaa. Saint Dane's influence has fueled the fire of discontent between two warring tribes: the Rokador and the Batu. This is also the territory where the Traveler Loor lives as a member of the Batu. Together she and Bobby must work to thwart Saint Dane's efforts to destroy Zadaa. But as Bobby pursues Saint Dane, he begins to notice changes in himself. He is no longer a flip kid looking for excitement. He is a young man beginning to see this quest as more than a series of adventures. He is also learning that as a Traveler, he had powers no normal human should have.

An Amazing and Fun Read! July 14, 2005

Ignore "School Library Journal's" totally untrue and blatant review. "The Rivers of Zadaa" delivers. MacHale once again had me on the edge of my seat in this new volume with suspense, action, drama ... and a little bit of romance. Bobby Pendragon is on Loor's home territory of Zadaa where two enemy tribes, the Batu and the Rokador, are on the brink of war due to a devastating drought. It is unclear to Bobby whether Saint Dane tinkered with Zadaa's turning point or whether the war was really meant to be. The "Library Journal" was right about one thing and that's Bobby matures as a character in this volume. Bobby isn't a character who uses fancy speech; he's walks, talks, and acts just like you and me and that's what makes the Pendragon series so enjoyable is the talent that MacHale has to fuse reality with fantasy and make his characters relatable to every kid out there. This popular and just plain fun series got so much more exciting after this volume and it opened so much more mysterious questions (along with some amazing discoveries about the traveler's powers). I for one cannot wait for book seven; The Quillian Games!

I love this book, and the entire series, so much!! It is amazing and creative and suspenseful and sooo exciting that I finished it in one day. D.J. Machale better get the seventh one out soon or I'll die, because he ended it in a cliffhanger like all the rest of the books. Please buy the whole series!

My 11-year old daughter wanted me to read the first Pendragon book when she finished it. I've now purchased and read all of them and have recommended this series to many friends. All of the books are complex and interesting stories that, unlike many books aimed at this age group, manage to avoid adult situations and language. At the same time, there are important themes in the books that are excellent conversation topics with young teens because Bobby Pendragon and his friends are faced with situations where right and wrong are not clearly defined and where they have to deal with the consequences of the mistakes that they make. Highly recommended for 10-14 year olds, although younger ones would need to be good readers.

MacHale yet again has turned out another masterpiece. The Rivers of Zadaa is by far the best in the Pendragon series. Throughout the book you think you have it all figured out, and it changes on a whim. In this book you learn more about the Travelers and what they can do and you get to dive into their emotions. MacHale has presented a much more mature book than the preceeding five. The non-stop action is still there and the incessant cliff-hangers are still there (especially at the end of the book), but all this is also accompanied by the introduction of the Travelers' relationships and feelings. Being able to sort through their emotions and serve the greater good is a tough challenge, and one that the Travelers are constantly facing. MacHale does a superb job of tying all the aspects of the novel into one riveting piece. Order your copy today and enjoy!
