About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the idea that things are not always what they seem or when they need to see the value of critical thinking in the face of peer pressure. As the second installment in the Deltora Quest 2 series, it follows three heroes as they navigate an island of beautiful but dangerous illusions. This story moves beyond simple fantasy by exploring themes of discernment, skepticism, and the psychological toll of a society built on secrets and lies. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core deals with trust and the importance of looking past a polished surface to find the truth. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy logic puzzles and high-stakes adventure. Parents will appreciate how it encourages readers to question assumptions and rely on their own observations rather than following the crowd, all while maintaining a fast-paced, engaging narrative that keeps reluctant readers turning the page.
