The Land of the Silver Apples

De: Nancy Farmer

Narrado por: Gerard Doyle

“Like the druidic life force Jack taps, this hearty adventure, as personal as it is epic, will cradle readers in the ‘hollow of its hand’ (Booklist, starred review).

Jack has caused an earthquake. He was trying to save his sister Lucy from being thrown down a well, but sometimes the magic doesn’t quite work out. Not only does Jack demolish a monastery, but Lucy is carried off by the Lady of the Lake, and Jack has to follow her through the Hollow Road, which lies underground.

Aided by Pega, a slave, and the berserker Thorgil, Jack encounters hobgoblins, kelpies, yarthkins, and elves—not the enchanted sprites one would expect, but fallen angels who steal human children for pets. In the eighth century, the world is caught between belief in the Old Gods and Christianity, and what Jack and his companions do will decide the fate of both religions.

From National Book Award winner Nancy Farmer, this second book in the Sea of Trolls trilogy brilliantly enlarges the world of the first story. Look for the conclusion in The Islands of the Blessed.©2007 Nancy Farmer; (P)2007 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

Awesome!!!

Ms. Farmer's storytelling and viivid characters, demonstrates her skill. It leaves you wanting to know what happens to Jack, Thorgil, The Bard, and the rst of the gang in the future. Well done!

Amazing Book!

A great sequel to the first, I very much enjoyed listening to this. Great family book.

Better than the last book

Usually a middle book is weaker, But I think this middle book has more to offer, and while third book is less than I hoped for it was a good story.

love these books

why haven't these been made into major motion pictures? They are filled with new thoughts. An imaginative blend of history and fantasy. The characters artfully change for the better, and some for the worse.

Excellent

Excellent reading by Gerald Doyle, did the trilogy good. Excellent writing. Nancy farmer is an OG.
