A review by williamsdebbied
The Land of Elyon Boxed Set by Patrick Carman

3.0

The Land of Elyon Book 1: The Dark Hills Divide

The Land of Elyon Book 2: Beyond the Valley of Thorns

The Land of Elyon Book 3: The Tenth City

The Land of Elyon trilogy by Patrick Carman is a fairly engaging fantasy featuring a spunky heroine who saves the world from evil. The religious allegory is a bit much at times, especially in the third book. These books are best for upper elementary to middle school readers; the plot may be too thin to keep older readers interested. My favorite character was Murphy the hyperactive squirrel, who appears in all three books.
