Do you have the courage, the wits, and the skill to claim a dragon's hoard? If so, apply within...

The sign is small, tucked into the corner of Mr. Clutter's bookshop window: "Adventurers Wanted. Apply Within." No one but fifteen-year-old Alex Taylor even seems to notice it is there. And for Alex, who has wished for a change in his life, it is an irresistible invitation.

Upon entering Mr. Clutter's shop, Alex is swept away on an incredible adventure to a faraway land filled with heroic warriors, mysterious elves, and hard-working dwarves.

Alex becomes the eighth man in a band of adventurers seeking the lair of Slathbog the Redâ??and evil dragon with a legendary treasure. Along the way, Alex and his new friends must battle dangerous trolls and bandits, face undead wraiths, and seek the wisdom of the Oracle in her White Tower.

Alex's adventure takes him to distant and exotic lands where he learns about courage, integrity, honor, and, most importantly, friendship.

Slathbog's Gold is the first book in an exciting new epic fantasy series and heralds the arrival of a major new talent in the genre.… (plus d'informations)

    Fablehaven, Tome 1 : Le sanctuaire secret par Brandon Mull (tanisha364)
    tanisha364: If you enjoyed this book, then you will love the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull. The main characters are 2 young siblings. This series is one of the few that I eagerly await the release of the next book and buy it that same day!

It's somewhat bland at first but it does get a little better.

...If only all those familiar things didn't stand out so much. The whole time it felt like Bilbo, then there were some Frodo moments mixed in. Can't honestly say that it's bad.

The story is pretty interesting but execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Author's attitude towards kids is irritating. Yes, kids are young ... but they AREN'T stupid! ( )

reminded me of the Hobbit, was a great read, and would recommend to all adventure lovers out there~ ( )

A coming of age story with enough new ideas to make it interesting. That said, there are a few things to be aware of. It's basically The Hobbit plus a little Dungeons and Dragons. It draws heavily on Tolkien's the Hobbit. There are a lot of parallels. Also, it's written in a similarly overly verbose "ye olde bedtime story" style. From D&D we get Adventurer's being a recognized profession and the bag of holding.

The last thing that annoyed me was that the protagonist did almost everything by accident. He was still roundly praised for his "heroism", though. And despite all the talk of power being a responsibility and having a cost, there was no absolutely no cost for our hero. Everything came extremely easy to him and he never had to struggle even once. I'm much more relaxed about Mary Sue characters than I used to be, but it's still disappointing when they're taken to the extreme.

With all that said, if you're okay with the style of prose and the idea that you won't be treading much new territory, this can be a fun read. Just go into it with the proper expectations and you'll do fine. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. I was looking for a light read and this was perfect. It takes me back to my D&D days. It is a simple, straight forward adventure and was great fun to read. I'm looking forward to the 2nd book. ( )

Liked it, its more suited for younger readers. My son really enjoyed it. Thought there could of been more action though. ( )
