The Floating Island The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme Elizabeth Haydon 9780765308672 Books

The Floating Island opens up to a Young Nain (well, considered young in Nain standards) who lives in Vaarn, the Great Overward in a ship yard, where his "odd family of shipwrights," work in building ships. Every time a ship is finished being built, one of the children of Polypheme is sent aboard the ship to check it before it leaves the harbor. One such time when one of the ships is finished, Ven draws out the short straw and is sent onto the ship, and is ushered into a high-tailed adventure he had always dreamed of!
The ship is attacked by Fire Pirates who pray upon vessels, leaving Ven with no other choice but to blow it up! Ven awakens to find the ship gone and in the company of a Merrow (a mermaid) on a jetsam. He is later picked up by a passing ship known as the Serelinda, which takes Ven to a Floating Island and the Seren Star Land, The Island of Serendair! Ven always gets what he always dreamed of, journeying off to a far distant land and exploring! But evil arises, and Ven finds himself in trouble he didn't want or expect with being accused by a scoundrel of a man and taken prisoner and threatened to be executed unless he can convince them otherwise...
The Floating Island is a great start to the Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme. I believe this is a nice prologue to Elizabeth Haydon's: The Symphony of Ages series, which is a World Wide Bestseller, starting with the New York Times, USA Today Bestseller and phenomenal: Rhapsody, Child of Blood. If you read the Symphony of Ages series by Haydon, than you surely shall references to the famed Nain Explorer by the scales of the Stolen Deck and his book: The Book of All Human Knowledge and All The World's Magic. If you haven't read the SOA series, and are over the age of thirteen, than I strongly suggest you pick-up the SOA series before continuing on with The Floating Island.
Other than that, The Floating Island is a fantastic and fun read! I found if far more enjoyable than Harry Potter. Haydon continues to amaze me in ways uncounted, and I only hope that she keeps writing and writing and writing!

The Floating Island The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme Elizabeth Haydon 9780765308672 Books Reviews

I love the Rhapsody series of books by Elizabeth Haydon. There are vague references in them to the stories of Ven Polypheme. Here she uses the opportunity to tell the stories in a young adult format. Perhaps it is the tilt to the youth that give me the so-so reaction to the stories that are entertaining, but not subtle or nuanced or transcendent like the Rhapsody books. It's more of the Disney version.
Product was great, just as described. A wonderful fantasy/adventure book for all ages. I would recommend
For my grandson, who loves sets of things.
I am hoping author continues the series. I have been unable to find any additional books.
I am starting to think that much of the best writing in sci fi / fantasy is taking place in the YA gernre. Fantastic book!
Great book for young and old. Easy reading but keeps the adventure moving along. Will be saving this series for my 9 year old grandson to read.
I know this book was designed for younger readers, however I did not know this until afterwards. I bought it as simply another of Haydon's books. I am 35 and it is excellent, and at no point did I notice or feel that this book had some sort of age limit attached to it. If you have chosen not to read it, thinking that it was designed for younger readers and thus not suitable for you, you will miss something. If you are a Haydon fan, get this book!
