Publisher Description

This is it: the final battle. On one side is the evil Victor Grindall and his horrific leader, the imprisoned Abaddon. On the other side is a girl named Alexa, who holds the fate of Elyon in her hands. If good is to win, Alexa must find a way to overcome the Lonely Sea, rescue her friend Yipes, and unlock the mystery of the Tenth City. Along the way, she will be attacked from above, betrayed by someone close, and guided toward a final gambit where everything will be put at stake—and great secrets will be revealed.

This is the moment for Alexa to become a true hero…and to discover her real fate.

"To someone who doesn't realize that this is an allegory, this book might seem particularly confusing and senseless, but I was able to see the deep theme most prominent in The Tenth City. The ending was somewhat bittersweet, but still satisfying."

    " i liked this book. i would definetly read it again. there was some parts i did not like though. the ending was really dumb. at the end they had the characters wondering what will happen in the next book. also the ending of this book just abruptly stopped it did not gradually stop. if they left those parts out it would have been even better, but i still liked it. it also had many descriptive words and just made the whole story very easy and clear to understand. it was a really good book.

    " A friend let me borrow the first three books of this series.. I started reading, and I was hooked. I read all 3 in just 3 days. These books are acceptable for younger readers while still appealing to those young at heart. "

    " this wasn't as good as the first 2 by far, this one seemed to drag on and I got tired of it, I had started a new book before I finished this one and I was more interested in that one then in this one. These are good books and I think that they are worthwhile you just have to take time to think it over and realize that some parts of these books aren't very good. I'm still debating about reading the next one or not. "

    " I read it this year as part of my 999 book challenge. :) A very twisty turvy children's book that has quite the kicker at the end of it. Having read this book directly after its prequel, I did find some editorial errors (incontinuity issues), but all in all a really good book for children. "

    " A book about the life of a young girl and her destiny. She goes on a adventure while enduring massive obstacles including fighting evil. This book is a good book about ancient mythology. IF you like myths, this is the book to read. "

    " This book was good. Still continuing with the C.S. Lewis type symbolism. Intriguing. A bit more blood and gore and brutality in this book than in the last two. Not too much though. Now on to the fourth and final book! "

    " Anna loves these books, and from her point of view I can see the draw. I just listen to them when I need to run on the treadmill and I'm desperate for an audio book. I would recommend them for 8-10 year olds, but without the classic draw that makes it as fun for adults. "
