PENDRAGON The Pilgrims of Rayne, Book 8

As circumstances become dire for Bobby Pendragon, the hero of this series, narrator William Dufris continues to balance Bobby's bemused pop-culture outlook with the grim realities of his fight to save Halla. The eighth book in the riveting series brings Bobby to the territory of Ibara, a seemingly peaceful agrarian land. Bobby joins forces with the Jakills, a group of children who resist the obliviousness of their elders to try to stop the villain Saint Dane from bringing down Ibara. In voicing both the lively, youthful dialogue of the Jakills and the otherworldly speech of the robotic armies of dados, Dufris demonstrates that he continues to be the perfect match for this imaginative series.
