The Eye of Zoltar: Last Dragonslayer Book 3

by JasperFforde (Author)

Synopsis

The Mighty Shandar, the most powerful wizard the world has ever seen, returns to the Ununited Kingdoms. Clearly, he didn't solve the Dragon Problem, and must hand over his fee: eighteen dray-weights of gold.

But the Mighty Shandar doesn't do refunds, and vows to eliminate the dragons once and for all - unless sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange and her sidekicks from the Kazam house of enchantment can bring him the legendary jewel, The Eye of Zoltar.

The only thing that stands in their way is a perilous journey with a 50% Fatality Index - through the Cambrian Empire to the Leviathan Graveyard, at the top of the deadly Cadir Idris mountain. It's a quest like never before, and Jennifer soon finds herself fighting not just for her life, but for everything she knows and loves . . .

Media Reviews
Jasper Fforde is seriously funny . . . packed with magic and invention: a spiky heroine called Jennifer Strange, an unruly young princess and most importantly a flying car and plenty of dragon action. Watch out, Terry Pratchett! * Sunday Express *
Praise for Jasper Fforde and THE LAST DRAGONSLAYER books * :- *
'Highly recommended. Very funny' * Independent *
'[Fforde's] ripping yarn of magic in decline mashes up the usual spells-and-beasts motif with a satire on corporate cash and tabloid values.' * i *
'This year's grown-up JK Rowling' * Sunday Times *
'True literary comic genius' * Sunday Express *
I love to dive into Jasper Fforde's books. They're wildly imaginative but he makes you believe every word. Where else can you encounter a ditzy dodo, a deadly chimera and a straight-as-an-arrow detective investigating what really happened to Humpty Dumpty? Great stuff. -- David Baldacci
