Cartea Deșertul Groazei este foarte interesanta. M-ia placut ilustrațile și povestea. Dar v-aș propune sa citiți toatr volumele ( voi face asta pe viitor ).Nu m-ia placut că unele lucruri din carte sugerează niște lucruri nepotrivite pentru copii .În rest cartea este faină.

This book is part 4 from the Elf Girl and Raven Boy series.

Really enjoyed this. Liking the series more and more they get further and further into their adventure.

In this one, they have arrived at Dread Desert and are trying to find the Tears of the Moon and the Singing Sword that the Sandpeople told them about in Scream Sea. They will need these to save the world from the Goblin King, who is the reason why they started their adventure in the first place.

They meet a Genie in the desert who they ask about what they're looking for and she tells them " The Tears of the Moon is the water in the oasis. It's magical stuff. And the Singing Sword is stuck at the top of a tree that grows from the pool. "

It ends us as them finding half of what they are looking for, but for the other half they will have to head to Terror Town which is the next story in the series.... I can't wait to see what happens..
