Editorial Review
Breaking the rulesJust when fifteen-year-old Bobby Pendragon thinks he understands his purpose as a Traveler -- to protect the territories of Halla from the evil Saint Dane -- he is faced with an impossible choice. The inhabitants of Eelong are in danger of being wiped out by a mysterious plague. The only way Bobby can stop it is to bring the antidote from another territory. Since moving items between territories is forbidden by the Traveler rules, if Bobby chooses to save Eelong he could endanger himself, his friends, and the future of every other being in Halla.

ARRGGG! WEIRD CAT PEOPLE ARE ON THE LOOSE!!! 
2007-12-13
This is the book that's so much fun! I loved it! Bobby gets his act together and is finally looking on the bright side again. He may get locked in a cage by a whole bunch of weird cat people but who cares? As long as he can do push-ups everyday he's OK.
This is the book were Bobby gets his sass back on. I love listening to him narrate all these horrible things that happening to him and he continues just as he always has.
This book is fun, inspiring, full of action and excitement and lots of other stuff.
Get it! This book is definitely one of the best.

I need to buy this book, if only because I'm mentioned on 76 pages of it, mostly in phrasings that Freud would have a field day with.
Thank you, Amazon, for the Search Inside! feature.
excellent!! 2007-03-02
My son got me hooked on these books. We recently moved to India and I was dying for something to read. His friends introduced this series to him and after watching him chose to read these books over video and computer games, as well as TV, I knew I had to give it a shot. I was impressed. It constantly keeps a good flow of movement and action. Like my son, I had a hard time putting this down. We have always been Harry Potter fans, and I dare say I think this series is even better.
Marvelous! 2007-01-29
This book is really imaginative and fun to read. I think this book delves more into the nature of the Travelers. It just makes you want to come back for more!

Bobby Pendragon traveled to another territories. He went to find to see what Saint Dane is doing. Mark and Courtney found out what was happening to Eelong. Then they traveled to Coral to get the cure. Bobby finds the new traveler of Eelong. During the time Bobby found out that Gunny was there with the human gars at Black Water, he helped to get the gars safe to the rest of the gars at Black Water.
The Eelong traveler helps Bobby defeat Saint Dane. The book is okay, but from inside-people I heard that the other books are better. There were other books that I liked better. The other book I liked better is Small Steps (creator of HOLES). This is my first time reading the series, so I don't know everything that happens before Black Water.
A Dark Overtone 2008-06-09
Starting at this book, the entire series takes on a very dark overtone. Just who is Saint Dane? Why does he want everyone dead? After his last victory, what powers has he gained? And most of all, how will this effect the very boundaries of the territories?
The book starts where the creepy ending of the last book left off. Bobby returns through the flume to see that Saint Dane had made a change of look in front of Mark and Courtney and given them Gunny's disembodies hand in a bag.
After this, Bobby is thrown into a world full of people who are DEFINITLEY not human, and where humans are nothing but poorly treated slave animals to the dominant spieces. Did I mention that a mysterious plague is going to wipe out this entire territory and the only way to stop it is to cross items between the territories, one of the biggest Traveler rules?
Will this have an effect on everything? Will Mark and Courtney have a special task from now on? Who are the acolytes? How does the mysterious old man connect to Uncle Press? All of this is answered in this book of the Pendragon Series!
Pendragon Series - Black Water 2008-04-21
I was given a gift of the first Pendragon book. I groaned because I NEVER read science fiction/fantasy. I felt I should "try" to read it because, after all, it was a gift. Keep in mind that this series is for teens and I am a grandmother! You guessed it: I couldn't put it down. I am about to start Book # Seven - The Quillan Games. These are so very entertaining. I would highly recommend them to anyone over the age of 10!
An adult view 2008-02-15
I have been a fan of fantasy and science fiction for all of my life. I stumbled upon this series and have enjoyed each of the books. As you progress with Bobby from book to book it hooks you into waiting for his next journal. The books are written for teens, but adults can enjoy them as well. The moderation is well done and consistent between each of the books so no different voices to piece together for the same character. I've found that as each book in the series builds upon each other, the storyline keeps getting better. I would recommend this series to both young adults and adults. As good does not always win in the books, as in real life, the storyline of perseverance and making hard choices parallels decisions that our youth face in their lives. A good series for anyone to read.
best one yet 2008-02-14
The first time I started reading "The Merchant of death," I loved it. I thought how could it get much better than this. Well, it just did. Black Water is the most "Spiff" book yet. When Bobby Gets to Eelong, he is instantly engulfed in exciting adventures and risks being eaten and killed in pretty much any way you could imagine all to stop Saint Daine from sending the territory in to chaos. This is a great book you'll love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mitch Huckaby
This Book is AWSOME!!!!! 2008-01-08
The book Black Water is centered around the main character of Bobby Pendragon. Bobby is one of a few select individuals who are called Travelers. Travelers go all around Halla through flumes. The main part in the travelers job is to protect the territories in Halla This particular part in the series takes place on Eelong. Eelong is a jungle-filled territory where humans are called gars and, cats are the supreme rulers. The humans are treated terribly here. The gars are planning to escape, but Saint Dane is looking to ruin there plans. If Eelong falls so does Halla. Can Bobby save Eelong and the rest of Halla along with it?
This book not the best book in this Series; nevertheless, this is one of the best series I have ever read. This is a book that anyone can read and really enjoy it. It was on the New York Times bestseller. It gets your imagination running and you get lost in the wonder of the book. This book should be much more highly recognized than it is. This book is great and part of one of the greatest series of all time. This book is wonderful.
