The Golden Door by Emily Rodda Hong Kong Battle of the Books Selection, 4th grade and up, fantasy- This wasnt my favorite fantasy novel. I didnt particularly connect with the main character also reminded me of the Jack Trueheart fantasy a little bit too much. I do like Emily Roddas work, have read numerous books by her and know that this book will be terrific for fantasy readers. Just not my favorite. She did create an interesting world, reminded me of the Patrick Carmans Elyon series- nowI love how this fits into a very recognisable fairy tale trope - a quest is announced, one brother sets out and doesn't return, then a second, then finally the third brother realises it is down to him, despite his lack of obvious skill. Rodda makes this story her own and I was there for every step of the way. Looking forward to the next two.I did start reading this aloud with Una (7) but it was too sad for her. Frederique (9) is reading it to herself and really enjoying it - meeting Emily Rodda
The first in a new fantasy trilogy by the wonderful Australian childrens author. Emily Rodda, with all of her trademark suspense, adventure and touches of horror, The Golden Door introduces a new hero, Rye, the youngest of three brothers living in the walled city of Weld, which is terrorised by giant skimmers that fly over every night. The city decides to send heroes to find and destroy the source of the skimmers; one by one, the young men of the city set forth, choosing one of three magical
Seen at Scott Reads It Emily Rodda is an international best-selling author and her Deltora Quest series has sold over 15 million copies across the globe. There is even a Deltora Quest anime in Australia yet I hadn't even heard of Emily Rodda until recently. I'm a fantasy junkie and I bet I would have loved Emily Rodda's books during elementary and middle school. The Golden Door is my first Emily Rodda and I don't expect it to be my last. The Golden Door is a short but sweet middle-grade novel
Rye sets off to find his two older brothers who are lost, presumed dead, after they accepted a quest to find the source of the skimmers which are attacking the city of Weld. Accompanied by an unwelcome orphan, Sonya, Rye soon discovers there is more to his quest than he expected.The kids gave me this book for Fathers' Day (ulterior motives, perchance?). We finished it together in a week. Classic Emily Rodda. Only downside is now we have to wait months for the next instalment.
f you are looking for a book that will introduce your young reader (8 or so years old) to the delightful tropes of the Quest Fantasy, you can read The Hobbit out loud, which is a lovely thing to do. However, if you want said child to read independently (which so many of us do), you could do much worse than offer him or her The Golden Door. Which is to say, I think it achieves what it set out do -- it tells an entertaining story in a very appealing way.Weld is a world within a wall. Not a big
I have always loved Emily Rodda. More than any other author I've discovered, her books get reluctant readers to read, especially the Deltora Quest series. When I saw she was beginning a new series, I jumped for joy and immediately requested an ARC. My daughter, who is currently obsessed with dragons, scooped it up when it arrived in the mail, so I had to wait until she was finished reading. All I heard for days was, "This book is SO GOOD, mama!" She loved it, like I knew she would. Emily Rodda
