FROM THE SEA OF TROLLS
BRAVE THEIR WORST
NIGHTMARES—UNDERGROUND.
Jack is amazed to have caused an earthquake. He is thirteen, after all, and only a bard-in-training. But his sister, Lucy, has been stolen by the Lady of the Lake; stolen a second time in her young life, as he learns to his terror. Caught between belief in the old gods and Christianity (790 AD, Britain), Jack calls upon his ash wood staff to subdue a passel of unruly monks, and, for his daring, ends up in a knucker hole. It is unforgettable—for the boy and for readers—as are the magical reappearance of the berserker Thorgil from a burial by moss; new characters Pega, a slave girl from Jack's village, and the eager-to-marry-her Bugaboo (a hobgoblin king); kelpies; yarthkins; and elves (not the enchanted sprites one would expect but the fallen angels of legend). Rarely does a sequel enlarge so brilliantly the world of the first story. Look for the conclusion in The Islands of the Blessed in 2009.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sandjands Excellent story! This book (along with the first in the series, "The Sea of Trolls") is a must read for anyone who enjoys fantasy mixed with reality. I personally read the books before giving them over to my 10 year old son. He loved them as much as I did and can't wait for the next to be released. The concepts are fun and interesting without being overly rediculous and the main characters are easy to fall in love with. Nancy Farmer is a fantastic writer and if you've never read any of her books you are sorely missing out as her works have also been heavily awarded. 01/30/2009
