the tenth city is an excitng book: The Tenth City by Patrick Carman is a magical adventure that includes giants, evil ogres, talking animals and some magical places that Alexa has never even thought existed. I would recommend this book to all ages that like good books. This dazzling story leads off with Alexa and her friends stuck on a boat(The Warick Beacon) chasing evil ogres who have captured one of Alexa's closest, Yipes. There journey to the Tenth City suddenly stops when there is a horrible storm and Alexa and her friends are forced to go on land.

Alexa is a skinny, young thirteen year old girl who doesn't succeed in sports. In this book she is expected to save her friends, and most importantly save the land of Elyon. On her adventure she is always ready. At any time the evil Victor Grindall can come and kill her and her friends. Since she is so slender and thin she wont have a chance against the ogres that are easily three times her size. thats where Armon comes in. Armon being a ten foot giant with great strength has a chance against the giants. His job is to protect Alexa from Grindall and the ogres.On his adventure he will have to hide from the black swarm which kills the giants and turn them into blood sucking ogres.Alexa will have to defeat Grindall, blood sucking ogres, the black swarm and the trouble of being turned into a ogre. Will they work together and defeat the ogres or will they let the land of Elyon fall? The Tenth City is a wonderful,magical book that includes drama,action and adventure. So if you like action books I would recommend this book.
Tissues galore!!: I loove this tissue box! It helps me all the time. e.g. When I had arunny nosr, When I had bloody nose, When I had a stuffed nose. As you can see this tissue box has helped me through so much lately.
Highly recommend: I love this series, but I felt there were several questions left unanswered. Hopefully the author will cover these in Into the Mist.
Gripping conclusion.: Patrick Carman's THE TENTH CITY also adds to a series, 'The Land of Elyon', as it presents the final battle between evil Victor and his leader and little Alexa, who must overcome the Lonely Sea and rescue a friend before she can save the world. Elementary to middle school leisure readers who have enjoyed prior books in the Elyon series will relish this gripping conclusion.
A great way to end it!: Once again we find ourselves with Alexa and the adventure is great! i recommend it for adults as well as kids. It is a great read for the family. the same woman read all three books and i love all her different voices. Oh the series just ends wonderfully! Read it. If you liked the two previous books then you'll love this final edition!
