Black Water

In this fifth installment of the Pendragon Adventures, Bobby goes to Eelong to help Gunny save Eelong. Barely three minuets after getting out of the flume, Bobby gets an unwelcome greeting by the thought-to-be quig. The only off thing about this is that unlike yellow eyes that all quigs, this creature had red eyes. He realizes this when he gets back in the flume. The real quigs are something that no one will see coming. The quigs in this book are people! People! So if the people are quigs, then who are the inhabitants of Eelong? Why, nothing other than jungle cats. The cats call themselves klees. The people are called gars. Eelong is basically the opposite of Second Earth. Eelong is not polluted, and the people are kept as pets. And these are some cats that you don't want to mess with. These are not just any cats; these are jaguars. They could kill you without a second glance. When Seegan is killed on Second Earth by the Cloral Plauge, Bobby realizes that Saint Dane is going to kill the gars. Meanwhile, Mark and Courtney learn how to be acolytes. They get a crash course when Seegan comes to Second Earth to warn them of the danger that Eelong is in. Mark and Courtney must bring the antidote from Cloral to Eelong. Who will survive this time? Will Saint Dane have his second territory? How will Spader react to a hot girl like Courtney? Will Kasha follow in her father's footsteps and become the Traveler from Eelong? Find out in "Black Water." I liked this book because the plot is very tragic. I give this book my highest rating: 5 stars. I am truly excited about what else is to come from D.J. MacHale.
