Pendragon Series by D.J. MacHale
My grade 8 teacher got me to read these book and let me tell you they are amazing! D.J. you have out done yourself.
A young boy named Bobby Pendragon is about to leave for a basketball game when his uncle Press Tilton shows up at his doorstep asking for help. Bobby finds himself in a war between good and evil(funny how it's always good vs. evil). Saint Dane, a man who can take the body of anyone, is trying to bring down the each territory at a time. Now it is up to Bobby, Uncle Press and other travelers to save each territory before it is too late.
When I finished the first one I couldn't wait to read the second. I have all my friends into this series. Now if D.J. would only turn it into a movie that would be amazing! This book is mostly fantasy but it does involve earth as we know it.
Comments
I read these books, they are great. They are way better than Harry Potter. Also, They are so good you won't want to put a book from the Pendragon series down.

It is an excellent book, as you said i couldn't put it down after i read the first one. I am currently in yr 8 as well and and have just finished the 7th book and am waiting for the 8th to come out out at my local library. If you like this series you may like the mortal engines series.

Does anyone other than me think this book would make a great movie? But if they do they better follow the book, unlike Eragon. Personally, I thought the movie of Eragon just sucked, the book was amazing. I would love to see this book be made into a movie but D.J. better be there to make sure everything is good.
Posted by: Me | March 5, 2007 09:31 PM
These books are the greatest things on earth. The author is so creative. And Pendragon sounds cute.
Posted by: MOOOHAAAHAAA | March 6, 2007 05:29 PM
Does anyone actually know when the 8th book is supposed to come out? I've been looking for a date and can't seem to find one. And I tink that Harry Potter and the Pendragon series are BOTH great books.
Posted by: Caitlin | March 11, 2007 07:28 PM
It comes out the 8th of May. It's new title is The Pilgrims of Rayne. D.J. said that after finishing the book, the title didn't fit anymore.
Posted by: Caitlin | March 11, 2007 07:33 PM
The pendragon books are great.And i think they would make a great movie also great story line but hurry up with book 8 please.
Posted by: Chris | March 25, 2007 01:08 AM

Posted by: Pendragonllover | April 14, 2007 06:56 PM
D.J. you realy need to make it a movie.students from schools all over the country realy want to see it in a movie. my freind and I have been thinking and thought you could use some of the mane characters from harry potter, for the movie.
IT WOULD BE SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!YOU WOULD MAKE A LOT OF CHILDRENHAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUT MAKE IT BASED SPECIFICLY ON THE BOOKS, NO EDITING ANYTHING OUT UNLESS ABSOLUTLY NECCECARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: paige | May 7, 2007 04:36 PM
I love this book, and the rest of them. They are really creative and really well written. I can be a little tough on books sometimes, but these books get a nine out of ten.
Posted by: custard | May 7, 2007 05:07 PM
At the begining of the year I wouldn't have even atempt a book like these.But after I read the first one, I can't put them down.
Posted by: puddin | May 8, 2007 07:33 PM
i love these books and i can't put them down. the first book picked up slow as most first books in a series do. the second book was awesome, it was easily the reason i kept reading them. the third was a huge twist and it opened everyone's eyes to saint dane and how he can use the travelers to do the dirty work for him when they don't even know it. the fourth book was amazing. i loved the virtual reality in it and it made you think about what was going on a lot more. the fifth book was slow to start and ended pretty good. the sixth book was so predictable i almost didn't want to read the seventh but i just started it and i need to know when the eigth book comes out. between waiting for harry potter and pendragon the great i am going crazy.

The eight book is out right now "The Pilgrims of Rayne" and OMG wow I didn't see so much coming but I'm happy that Courtney found Mark and hopefully what he did will save all of Halla. Everything is messed up now because of Saint Dane, nothing is going to be normal again. It was such a good book I found myself skipping pages just to see what was going to happen, I lost sleep because of it, I'm so far behind in homework because of it. D.J. write faster I want to know what happens next!!
Posted by: Jenny | May 12, 2007 03:56 PM
It only took me 5 months to read all 7 books plus I had to wait to get them but it is preety good for a 9 year old.
Posted by: TMISTER | May 12, 2007 06:39 PM
I think the books rock and I think they would do very well on film. Thnking that DJ is a script writer etc. he could probally write up one and keep it close to the books. Please keep it as close to the books as possible it would make a lot of people happy.
Posted by: Doughnut | May 13, 2007 06:35 PM
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 8th book is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Pilgrims of Rayne- Can't wait to read it!!!

was mark the turning point for second earth?
Posted by: coolio21 | June 3, 2007 07:27 PM
I don't think there was a turnng point on second earth...yet
Posted by: Mickey D | June 8, 2007 12:55 PM
i totally hyperventilated when i finished bk 8-HOW COULD HE END IT LIKE THAT??????????????????????????????
Posted by: Vick Y | June 11, 2007 09:02 PM
Pengragon is so cool!!! Id give it a hundred out
of a hundred stars!!
Posted by: Tyler | June 24, 2007 12:24 PM
At the end of book 8 why did Bobby destroy the flume? I can see how it traps both him and Saint Dane but there is always 2 flumes to each territory and if Saint Dane knows where the other flume then Bobby's actions where pointless. With Gunny and Spader they just have to find the other flume and they would be able to get home well get back to the fighting. I think Mark might have been the turning point of all of Halla. Think about it his DADOs affected every territory but Courtney stopped him just like Bobby and the other Travelers stop Saint Dane. And maybe there won't be a turning point for Second and Third Earth because Saint Dane went for the beginning aka First Earth and if he had gotten that territory the rest of the Earth territories would have fallen. Second Earth would have the next biggest impact because it would lead to the fall of Third Earth. Maybe there is future territories to the original ones we knew of. We know there is 3 Earth territories and there is 2 Veelox, why can't that happen to the others. D.J. has said that the publication of the 9th would be in May 2008. The title has not been released but if anyone knows anything about the 9th book, PLEASE SHARE WITH THE REST OF US!!
Posted by: Jenny | June 28, 2007 11:14 AM
i cant wait for the 9th book any body know the title???????????
Posted by: Glitch | July 21, 2007 08:56 PM
To all those Pendragon lovers out there the title for book #9 is:
RAVEN RISE
The publication date, for now, is:
May 20th 2008
But in the past the date has been changed so we have to wait and see what happens.

D.J. has some news about up coming Pendragon items. Raven Rise is almost done and there won't be any advanced copies handed out. The Merchant of Death is going to be put into a graphic novel and its release date is May 20th. A new idea has come up, D.J. wants to write about the Travelers before they knew they were Travelers. There isn't much to be told right now but he wants to have them published before the 10th Pendragon. Hardcover for Black Water is coming out in November, and the paperback for Pilgrims of Rayne is December 26th but they could be out before then.

9th book raven rise will be the last in the pendragon series(mixture of duh and:{ ) probably start making the movies about ayear after release of raven rise
p.s. it's already been released
Posted by: smart_aleck777 | February 19, 2008 05:08 PM
the ninth book raven rise is coming out march 20th................... about the movies......it would be awsome to have them but when you imagine them they seem impossible even with our new high tech..........i am sure d.j. has gotten movie offers but personally i think he is waiting for something big to happen in the movie theater buisness.............i also do not think that the new book will be the last of the pendraon series as they are to good..............what i do think that this book will be is that it will be the last book from bobby pendragons point of view................That is all........

Posted by: simon | April 7, 2008 03:25 PM
Pendragon, is by far the best series I have ever read.
They are a million times better than Harry Potter.
Actually, to be honest, I don't think anything compares. I've read a lot of books and Pendragon is better than anything I have ever read.
Posted by: Amy | April 19, 2008 08:17 PM

D.J. you rock! <3
Posted by: Alex | June 5, 2008 03:11 PM
I found out when the next Pendragon is supposed to come out and its really disappointing but its supposed to come out in May 2009 :( DJ doesn't know the title yet. The 9th book wow I hate how Saint Dane made Bobby choose to kill Naymeer but its because he killed Naymeer that Third Earth is all messed up in my opinion. I'm glad we got Mark back but how could he be stupid enough to give Neeva his ring?! I know he wants his parents to live but still! I almost threw my book across my room when I read that. The ending that was kinda weird not going to lie but I like that we have all the Travelers back together, even Press!!
Posted by: Jenny | June 8, 2008 12:08 PM
Pendragon is the best book series ever.
When book ten comes out I wiil beg to get
it.
D.J. you are the best author in the world

Posted by: mitchell | October 26, 2008 04:30 PM
Lol I read the whole series in 5 minitues and it is really good the harry potter series is also good which I read in 2 minutes
Posted by: lolcats | December 7, 2008 11:57 AM
THIS IS THE BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My fav Traveler is Spader and my fav territory is either Third Earth or Cloral. The tenth book is going to be called: The Soldiers of Halla. Oh, and btw, Saint Dane is not Bobby's father. I saw it on DJ TV on the official pendragon site, so you can go there just google pendragon series and click on the first thing. i am so excited and I cannot wait for the tenth one can come out. the pendragon series is the BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: iluvmykinz657 | December 15, 2008 07:15 PM
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been reading the pendragon books for like ever and no hollywood is thinking of making it a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!Who do you think the characters should be played by?
Posted by: joselin | April 28, 2009 05:12 PM
I just finished reading this series, and WOW. I remember when I first started reading book 1, and the moment I began reading, I was already drawn in, and that doesn't happen to me very often! I love these books better than Harry Potter. The characters are amazing, the plots adventerous and unpredictable. I'm so glad I decided to read this great series!!!
And Vo Spader is the best! I love that guy :)
