Vega Jane and the Maze of Monsters

Beyond the boundary of everything Vega Jane has known lies the Quag, and crossing it is the whole business of this fantasy adventure. David Baldacci follows Vega and her friend Delph through a wilderness of hostile creatures, old magic and buried secrets, where every obstacle pushes them nearer the truth about where they came from. Chapters are short and the pace is brisk, with nerve, loyalty and plain stubbornness doing as much work as any spell. Where its value sits: • A fantasy quest written for readers of about ten and upward • Friendship and courage tested against monsters and hidden magic • Short chapters that keep reluctant readers turning pages • A continuing series adventure with its own complete arc Suited to middle-grade and young adult readers, gift buyers and school reading programmes, available from Boipoka.
