Alison Croggon's acclaimed young adult fantasy quartet, The Books of Pellinor, has been
steadily growing in popularity worldwide since the first volume was
released in Australia in 2002.
The story begins with The Gift (published in the US as The Naming), which was shortlisted for two Aurealis Awards, and continues with The Riddle and The Crow. Since its initial publication, it's been released in the UK and in the States, where the series has received critical raves and popular acclaim. The saga continues with the release of the Pellinor series in Germany in 2007 and 2008.

Unbelievably fine, this book represents fantasy storytelling at its best. - VOYA, US
