I accidentally picked this up instead of Deltora Quest and was bitterly disappointed. (Was too focused on the "Quest" part of the title)
There are similarities between the two series other than the name. I still haven't read DQ but I have seen the anime so I have a good idea of what it's all about.
I think it would be a decent read for younger kids. It spans that gap between fairy tales and proper novels. I'll probably give my copy to my seven-year-old cousin. Hopefully he'll like it.

I've just read this with Maxim. Quests, knights and dragons, perfect for a 7 year old :-)

Bought for my 6 year old he is loving reading it out loud and I had to borrow it to read myself. A great adventure story for younger readers (7+ is aim) but also enjoyable for grow ups.

This is a fun fantasy adventure read. I look forward to introducing the series to my students.

I read through this quickly because I'd like to do a Beast Quest program at the library and haven't read any of the books. Considering the age level this series is for, it's not too bad. It's not the best fantasy book you're ever going to read, but I know kids here go nuts for them and that's all that matters to me. I may skim through a few more in the series just to see how it goes. They are only about 75 pages long and take about 30 minutes to read.
