Rowan of Rin: The Journey 25th Anniversary Edition

"Bravest heart will carry on
When sleep is death,
and hope is gone."

Rowan doesn't believe he has a brave heart, but when danger threatens his village of Rin he discovers he is much more resourceful than he could ever have imagined. The Wise Woman Sheba's ominous words haunt him. Her cryptic riddles are all he has to help him find a way to solve each problem.

In all five books of the series, Rowan must find within himself the means to overcome perils that would daunt the greatest hero: terrifying monsters, the forbidden Mountain, and those who enslave his people. Only when he faces his fears head-on will the true path of his quest be revealed.

This unique fantasy adventure series has all the high excitement readers have come to expect from Emily Rodda, author of the Deltora Quest series. The Rowan books have won or been short-listed for many awards, including the children's choice YABBA and COOL awards. Rowan of Rin is a winner of the Children's Book Council of Australia's Book of the Year (Younger Readers) Award.
