Isobelle Carmody wrote The Farseekers which is the second book of her Obernewtyn Chronicles, and is published by The Penguin Group. Also this book’s ISBN number is 978 0 14 013405 6.

I found that I enjoyed reading this book and have decided that I’ll be reading the other books in this series. As Elspeth Gordie goes travelling to a place in the lowlands to retrieve some Beforetime books. And she was also aware that there was a person there with some useful abilities. This person she discovers is a girl who she called Dragon and this was so because the girl had been on her own for so long she couldn’t talk much. In fact Elspeth was beginning to think that Dragon was a mute until she tried to say Elspeth’s name and the name she had given her. Also why I liked reading The Farseekers is because Elspeth’s journey was quite a dangerous expedition.

But she and the others that went with her got out of trouble, by making friends with people who helped them out, and along the way they also collected some important information. And then they were racing time as Elspeth wanted to get back to Obernewtyn to warn them.
