I finished the ninth book in The Pendragon Adventure. As usual, I loved every word of it, and was stunned by the ending. I don't know why these books are in the children section of every book store I go to; they have violence and language and are usually over 500 pages long. Are children becoming more mature or is the book-rating system becoming more lax?:?

Anyway, I have loved this series. There are ten books in all, with only nine out so far. What it's about is a boy named Bobby Pendragon (no relation to Arthur Pendragon) who lives a comfy life is taken by his uncle to another part of the universe. A few details:

1. His entire family, as well as every record of their existence, vanishes without a trace.

2. There are others like him. They're called Travelers. They can move across the universe in spacial rides called flumes. They are omnilingual (meaning they understand every language as their own), and they have persuasive powers.

3. He has to lead these Travelers to prevent the parts of the universe (called Territories, which are like certain times on certain planets. Each Territory has its own special attributes, such as special technology or rituals or medicine that isn't found on Earth) from falling into chaos at the hands of a powerful and brilliant enemy called Saint Dane.

The story is so in-depth and amazing. One of my most favorite series of all time. Pick up the first book, The Merchant of Death, if you don't already read this.
