Pendragon 2: The Lost City of Faar


By D.J. MacHale

Bobby and Uncle Press are headed once more into the flumes to follow the tracks of the evil demon Saint Dane. Bobby is still mystified at learning he is a traveler, and what that actually means. But with Uncle Press to lead the way, Bobby feels he is getting more used to his new life, and he finds himself on the territory of Cloral. Cloral is a world covered in water, the people live on floating islands and have learned to thrive off of the water. What is the turning point for Cloral and why is Saint Dane here? Bobby finds that he is actually enjoying himself on Cloral, until terrible news finds its way to Bobby and Press. Everyone on an entire island has mysteriously died, and seemingly without warning. It’s up to Bobby, Press, and the Cloran traveler, Spader, to figure out what’s going on and to stop Saint Dane before he murders an entire world.


Finally! I got the second book from the library and sped through it within a day, and enjoyed every minute. It’s official. I’m hooked. Bobby’s adventure is fun, exciting, nerve wracking, and a complete mystery. I adore the story, which is original, and witty. I can’t wait to find out what the travelers really are and what they are doing. MacHale is able to write about multiple different worlds and not leave the reader confused. They are easily recognizable, but different enough to be thought of as a completely new place. I am heartily enjoying this series!
