The seventh thrilling book in the Deltora Quest series.
Lief, Jasmine, and Barda have found six of the seven gems of the Belt of Deltora. But the final part of their journey may also be the most dangerous. The location of the seventh gem, the diamond, is the Valley of the Lost, a place from which no person has ever returned. But their determination to save their land is greater than their fear. Upon entering the swirling mists of the valley, they are immediately captured by the Guardian. In order to obtain the gem, they must decode the Guardian's riddle. If they try to steal the gem, they will be cursed with misfortune. But if they do not solve the puzzle, their souls will be trapped forever in this desolate place, and Deltora will remain forever under the control of the evil Shadow Lord. All fans of Deltora Quest won't want to miss this, the seventh book in this thrilling series.

Dragonlance for the younger crowd!
This series of books not only made my 4th grader who loves to read disappear into it's pages for days on end by also entranced my 5th grader who thinks comic books are real books. The most wonderful part of this series is it's complete lack of that boy/girl mushy stuff that quite frankly my kids don't need yet another dose of!

The final challenge
Six gems weigh down the Belt of Deltora. Now the three must persue the final challenge, the Valley of the Lost. They know that the great Diamond awaits them. When they arrive, many people who are little more then shadows are there, many from the city they hoped hid the heir - Tora, sister city to Del. Inside, fighting monsters is not their challenge. Instead, several mind games do. Jasmine wishes to take the Diamond by force, but Lief knows better. As they figure out the last puzzle just as their time is gone, they are given permission to take the diamond. But the Guardian had switched the diamond for a different one. They realize that the woman who had followed them and pretended to leave had stolen it. They are told to go get it, so finally the Belt is complete. The Valley of the Lost disappears, and the people within are returned to normal. Now they must find the heir.
