Just the beginning/middle to a huge adventure...
Beyond The Valley of Thorns is an interesting story. Alexa, the main character, yet again is set to another great adventure. However, this time she is lead farther away from her family to solve a puzzle that needs to be complete. In more serious situations that can hurt or kill someone, Alexa struggles to survive and accept the truth that she unexpectedly encounters about herself.

After saving Bridewell from the man who'd tried to destroy it from within, Alexa Daley thought her troubles were over. But bringing down the walls has opened the land to a new threat from outside. Forces are gathering to bring darkness to the land, and Alexa must play a key role in stopping it from happening. Her adventures will take her BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THORNS and have her confronting giants, bats, ravenous dogs, and an evil mastermind who might be more than she can handle. Reuniting with Alexa in the adventure of the second THE LAND OF ELYON book thrilled me just as it did the first time I read it. These books are great for fantasy lovers of all ages.

Beyond the Valley of Thorns book review
Beyond the Valley of Thorns drags you into a mystery story which has many twists and turns. In this book Alexa Daley is faced with new challenges she hasn't faced before, for exmple she has to leave the comfort of her home and help a little band of talking animals and two other people to find the last Jocasta and save the Land of Elyon. I would recommend this book to anyone above the age of 11 years old because the book can be confusing if you can't remember all the things that are happening. Also some parts of the book can cause some under aged children to become timid of reading the rest of the book, which makes them miss out on a great story.

Beyond the valley of thorns by patrick Carman
This an extremely good book. I enjoyed the book, I normally don't read series but since this book is so thrilling I might read the sequels. I love the way Patrick Carman describes the characters. So even if I don't know who Warvold is, I can still get a very good description of who he is. I love this book and think it's the best book I ever laid eyes on or so I say to my friends. But I'm sure that they don't believe me because they all love Harry Potter! Though I disagree I keep my opinions to myself! I hope you enjoy this book as much as I am!

Beyond the valley of thorns
I just finished the book Land of Elyon: Beyond the Valley of Thorns and it was spectacular. Patrick Carman is an excellent author and he keeps readers in and its hard to put it down, and he keeps you on the edge. I can¿t wait to start the third book called the tenth city because of all the other twist and turns Mr. Carman has.

LOVE IT!
I loved this book. It kinda had a cliffhanger ending, but it leaves you wanting more. I liked it when Yipes nearly scared Alexa half to death.

Awesome
My book is called Beyond the Valley of Thorns. A girl named Alexa and a bunch of friends on a dangerous journey to save the land of Elyon. They encounter many obstacles including bats, ogres, and more. I believe the message of the book is stay together, work together, and never give up. No matter what, they stuck together and worked together. They kept on going and didn¿t quit. Even though they lost a friend. I liked this book and at the same time didn¿t, because at times they pop up something you should have already know. I liked it because of the adventures, suspense, and hard-ships. This book is part of a series so you might not know what happened in the book before.

Rushed
The first book of this series was phenomenal. I think that this book, however, was a little bit too rushed. Everything came at me TOO fast, and I almost quit it three times. The only good part of this book was the final battle, but I found the rest of it pretty boring.

Best book of the series so far.
I LOVED IT!!! Check it out! Buy it! Just read it! Amazing adventures, new characters, reveals important details to the series. All great reasons to read this book. If you read this one first you'll be lost, so start with the first book 'The dark hills Divide' to prepare yourself for this thrilling adventure!

Beyond the Valley of Thorns...AWSOME!!!
The fate of Alexa Daley's world is in her hands now. Only she can save them from the evil lurking around. Their fate may be in her hands but she is a mere girl of 13 with a little man and a group of animals to help. That may not give her a likely chance of her succeding but she has a smart brain,good friends, and hope. That's all she needs to keep going. She has a few tricks up her sleeve and isn't going to let evil rule without a fight. This book is a great. It takes time to get into it but when you do you won't want to stop.

not as good as the first
i really liked this book--the whole concept of the giants turning to ogres from the evil of their master...and the cool valley of thorns and city of dogs. those were awesome places...perfect for a fantasy world. but i thought alexa was pulled into the adventure much too quickly to be realistic, and i didn't like that someone died. i think to die to save alexa was pretty silly. but still a good book for kidz.

Beyond the Valley of Thorns
Alexa Daley is back again! Alexa is finally starting to understand the secrets of the Jocastas. She even meets a few strangers, friends and foes. Alexa is out looking for the Jocastas and stumbles over some terrifying secrets! Will she find the Jocastas? Will she save the animals? Can she unravel the secrets of the Jocastas? You will find out! I thought this was a very good book! It was so realistic! It had so many details it seemed as if you were there! Also it was very adventurous. Furthermore, Patrick Carman did a great job on this book!

Beyond the Valley of Thorns
Alexa Daley is back in Bridewell where the walls are now gone. One day Alexa is brought a letter that summons her. She ventures off with a wolf, a squirrel, a hawk, a small man, and an average man. They travel beyond the Valley of Thorns that contains giant poles that have their points smothered in poison. They then make it to Castelia fighting off bats and giants along the way. Will they conquer the evil giants and become victorious, or will they die an awful death? This story reveals many unknown facts. I absolutely LOVED this book! It was full of adventure, excitement, and new challenges around every corner. It is extremely well written with a lot of detail and expression. I also love the ending that leaves you longing for the next book. This book is impossible to put down! This is an absolutely wonderful book that I think many people especially animal lovers, would really enjoy.
