Product Description

Product Description
The first in a fast-paced, fantasy quartet from new author to the Puffin list, V M Jones. Twelve-year-old orphan Adam Equinox is an unlikely hero - a lonely, misunderstood underacheiver who gets into fights, and whose spelling has to be seen to be believed. One day Adam enters the Quest Golden Opportunity Competition, with the ultimate prize of working with the reclusive software genius Quentin Quested, test-driving his latest top-secret breakthrough in computer game technology. Adam is unbelievably chosen to undergo the final selection process. At Quested Court, Adam enters a world he never dreamed existed. A world of kindly adults and potential friends, in which the boundaries between fantasy and reality start to become blurred. Only when Adam and his companions begin the gaming workshop does Quentin Quested reveal their real life quest into the parallel world of Karazan, where the Serpents of Arakesh stand guard over the most precious prize of all.

About the Author

Her previous novels are Buddy, which won the Junior Fiction and Best First Book Awards in the 2003 New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards, and Juggling with Manadarins (2003). The Serpents of Arakesh is the first book in The Karazan Quartet.

Adam Equinox
Stupid dumb ugly ox
Can't read can't spell
Can't do anything very well

Adam Equinox is the butt of every joke going. He's the most unpopular kid at his orphanage and the dumbest kind in his class at school. So when he wins a competition to meet and spend a weekend with software genius and millionaire Quentin Quested Adam, for the first time in his short and miserable life, has something to look forward too. But the cruel matron who runs his orphanage has no intention of letting him go. So Adam slips away in the middle of the night. Once at Quested court however Adam faces trials that will test him to find a more worthy Adam Equinox. If he passes he must travel to a game world, rescue a magic potion and save a child's life.

The Serpents of Arakesh was absolutely riveting! Adam is a strong hero with a humorous way of putting everything! There was no way to put it down before I had turned the last page. Everything was incredibly realistic even though some of it was set in a fantasy world!

If you haven't read The Serpents of Arakesh I would definitely recommend it as one of the most awesome books around!
