The Impossible Quest

kateforsyth.com.au
When one of our library assistants finished reading The Impossible Quest and discovered that the second book wasn't due out until February 2015 she went into a decline. She loved this book and so I decided that I had  better get reading.

I have read other books by the Australian author, Kate Forsyth, and I knew she wrote very well, so I was looking forward to reading her latest, and Forsyth didn't disappoint. The book is easy to read and, as the name suggests, the four main characters must quest after four magical beasts to help them repel the invaders out of Wolfhaven Castle.
The four children who escape are Lady Elanor, the daughter of Lord Wolfgang, the Lord of Wolfhaven; Sebastian, a squire in training for a knighthood; Quinn, an abandoned child and a witch's apprentice and Tom, the son of the castle cook.
Each of the children are given a magical object which will help them in their quest to raise the legendary magical beasts of yesteryear and thus overcome the invaders.
The book is suitable for ages 10+
On a brighter note, my library assistant has just discovered that she can get the book in next month's Scholastic Book Club. Crisis averted!
