When the Star of Deltora docks in the harbour at Illica, Britta knows this
will be her most important trade in the quest to win the Rosalyn Contest and
become mistress of her own trading ship. But the Collectors, who make their
home on this island, are slippery hosts and the shadows which swirl and haunt
Britta, press even closer. It becomes more evident to her that she is
reluctantly following in her father’s final footsteps, increasing her anxiety
that someone will discover her true parentage.
The
Towers of Illica is the third instalment in the
adventurous and fast- paced fantasy series, Star
of Deltora by well loved Australian author Emily Rodda. It has a thrilling
plot and an edge of foreboding darkness throughout, which will keep readers on
the edge of their seats. Britta is likable, strong and feisty heroine whose
relationships with others aboard the ship are building as the story progresses.
Lovers of fantasy and great storytelling
will become engrossed in this entertaining series –especially fans of previous
Deltora books. A great read for middle-grade through to early teenagers.
Readers can collect cards – six come
with every volume – and share in the trading experience.
