Review
Britta has trading in her blood and is bored helping her mother in their shop. When her friend, Captain Gripps, puts her name forward to be an apprentice to the famous Rosalyn Trader and sail the seas trading goods, she jumps at the chance. But will her past remain a secret or are there other forces at work?
Another wonderful new series from Emily Rodda. This is an exciting fantasy story set amongst the backdrop of Deltora and will introduce a new generation of readers to the Deltora Quest series.
Great characters and a page turning story will keep both readers thoroughly enthralled.
It will suit Years 5 and up.
