Pendragon, Book 6: The Rivers of Zadaa

by D. J. Machale

Pendragon, Book 6: The Rivers of Zadaa Cover

Staff Pick

The New York Times-bestselling Pendragon series charges on with this absorbing sixth book. Bobby Pendragon is no ordinary teenager — he has been tasked with saving the world. In The Rivers of Zadaa, Bobby pursues his nemesis, Saint Dane, into the midst of a war between opposing tribes... and in the process, discovers that he has grown from a naive kid into a young hero. This is an excellent fantasy for fans of Harry Potter and Philip Pullman — and will likely ensnare many other young readers, as well.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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 has powers no normal human should have.

In this latest installment of Bobby Pendragon's battle to save humanity, discovery and danger go hand in hand as D. J. MacHale takes readers on an emotional thrill ride they won't soon forget.
