Pendragon: The Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale


Pendragon is a young adult series and book one is The Merchant of Death. The book is imaginative, fun and exciting but there was too much excitement for me. The story line develops too slowly because there are so many adventures/conflicts/obstacles to escape from. Bobby is so busy trying to stay alive, that I felt anxious and exhausted as I read the book. This maybe why young adults love it because they are not trying to get to the end, they just want to enjoy Bobby’s adventures.

Bobby, a “normal” fourteen-year-old boy who lives in Stony Brook, Connecticut has a mysterious uncle named Press who visits him from time to time. Bobby soon discovers that the world and the cosmos are completely different then what he’s known all his life. He is taken away by his uncle to a different world called Denduron and told that he has to save the world.
