Product Description
From Booklist
In the sequel to The Floating Island (2006), the king sends Ven to the amazing Gated City in Kingston, which is ruled by the Thief Queen, and where "some of the most magical and exotic goods in the world are sold." His mission: to solve the riddle of a mysterious light stone. He is accompanied by four good friends, one of whom is kidnapped, and the search for her is fraught with peril, though they find some individuals willing to help. One of them turns out to be the Thief Queen's runaway daughter, who orchestrates their escape from her mother's evil clutches. Haydon not only maintains the dazzling action, convincing characterizations, and vigorous world building of the first book but also carefully paves the way for further installments in the Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme series. Another surefire winner, featuring line illustrations by Jason Chan rather than Brett Helquist (who provided the drawings for book 1). Estes, Sally
