Overview


Let the Games Begin....

Quillan is a territory on the verge of destruction. The people have lost control of their own future and must struggle simply to survive. The only chance they have of finding a better life is by playing the Quillan Games. Hosted by a strange pair of game masters, Veego and LaBerge, the games are a mix of sport and combat. They use the people of Quillan as pawns for their amusement as they force them to enter competitions that range from physical battles, to impossible obstacle courses, to computer-driven tests of agility. To triumph in the games is to live the life of a king. To lose is to die.

This is the dangerous and deadly situation Bobby Pendragon finds on Quillan. He quickly realizes that the only way to save this troubled territory is to beat Veego and LaBerge at their own games and dismantle their horrible fun house. But there is more at stake for Bobby. The prize for winning the Quillan Games may be discovering the truth of what it really means a Traveler.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Each new episode seems to raise the stakes of this action adventure series. In the seventh installment, Bobby Pendragon realizes that the Quillan Territory can be saved only by defeating game masters Veego and LaBerge in a fateful competition: Winning the Quillan Games could bring him a giant step closer to understanding the meaning of being a Traveler. Losing brings instant extinction.
VOYA
It is time to buckle up for the seventh installment in the Pendragon series, as Bobby travels to Quillan, where gaming is not an amusing pastime but a way to survive-losing means death. After watching Quillan's traveler die in a game, Bobby finds himself being forced into the role of Challenger in the most extreme of Quillan's games, the Grand X, something most likely orchestrated by Bobby's nemesis, St. Dane. Realizing that more than his life is at stake, Bobby seeks to find the secret of Quillan, held by the mysterious Mr. Pop. On Second Earth, Courtney is recovering from her near fatal accident, aided by Mark and his strange new friend. None of the three heroes have any inkling of the horrors awaiting them. It is difficult to imagine a better thrill ride than a Pendragon novel, and MacHale keeps kicking up the adrenaline factor with each subsequent book. Although this volume starts slowly and sometimes gets bogged down in exposition, it quickly becomes a roller coaster of unexpected twists and turns. MacHale is not afraid to subject his characters to failure, betrayal, and loss, and jaw-dropping surprises are in store for fans who have come to love them. With its deftly handled warning of a future of uncontrolled greed, its questioning of the nature of good and evil, and the shattering portrayal of loss, it is one of the most impacting entries of a creative and challenging series. VOYA CODES: 4Q 4P M J (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses; Broad general YA appeal; Middle School, defined as grades 6 to 8; Junior High, defined as grades 7 to 9). 2006, Simon & Schuster, 496p., Ages 11 to 15.
—Arlene Garcia
KLIATT
To quote the review of the hardcover in KLIATT, May 2006: Bobby Pendragon, fresh from a deadly encounter with Saint Dane, finds an invitation to the Games of Quillan, and off he goes to a fresh Territory. The people of Quillan are quite fond of games, and of gambling, but the stakes if one loses are grim indeed. In no time at all, Bobby finds himself a Challenger in the biggest Games of the world, where winning is everything and the losers leave in a coffin. But there is some hope: Bobby has discovered a secret underground movement, working to wrest control of their world from the fascist Corporation that rules it. Meanwhile, back on Second Earth, Bobby's friends are in trouble, and he needs to get back to help them--if he can survive. This series gets better and better, and the stakes for the Territories have just been raised again. Essential for libraries that own the series, which should be all libraries. Age Range: Ages 12 to 18. REVIEWER: Deirdre Root (Vol. 42, No. 1)

    Pretty Good

    This is probably one of my least favorite book in the Pendragon series. It definitely has some action but it os also kind of confusing. I still love all of the Pendragon books though.

    To those wondering i this is similar to hunger games

    Yes this book is simiar to to premise of hunger gmes, or vise versa as this came out first. Both books are incredibly different though. Just because one aspect of the two stories is similar does not claim plagerism. Both books are great and are deserving of five stars

    Great read!? Book Review by oconli57¿

    Pendragon fans will not be let down by the 7th book in the series, the Quillan Games. It's as funny and action packed as the other six books. Well worth the money. As usual, the story switches between Bobby's journals from Quillan and Mark and Courtney, his friends on Second Earth. It's a Great Read!?

    One of the best books I've ever read!

    This is the first time I have lost sleep worrying about what will happen in a book. I should have just read the whole thing and stayed up the whole night!

    But this book is just amazing. This whole series is amazing. Each book goes to a new territory that has a problem and each problem is something we can all relate to. This book actually got me terrified--because its situation reminds me of what might happen if a huge company like Wal-mart takes over everything.

    And the characters in this series are hugely complex and developed, and really seem like real people. There is no "one-faced" characters. And because of that it's even easier to relate to them and to be gripped by the story.

    There are so many things in this book that throw you off-balance. D.J. MacHale includes so many mind-blowing twists and turns you feel positively overwhelmed! I think it's this, the feeling like you are going through the same troubling feelings as Bobby does, that makes this series so popular. It's incredibly addicting, and it does not let you go.

    This book is one of the best in the series.

    And this series is the best. xD

    Love it!

    My boyfriend got me into the Pendragon series, and at first I didn't want to read it because I thought it would be a take off of Harry Potter [which i also love.] However, I couldn't have been more wrong! Its a completely different story line that is amazing. I've loved reading it. Anyone who is into fantasy/adventure stories would love this series/book!

    An Awesome Series!

    From the first page of book one on, I was hooked! I love the characters and thier development throughout the story, and I love the creativity involved in each of the different worlds. I can't wait to see what happens next!

    If you liked Pendragon, you might also enjoy the "Fablehaven" series by Brandon Mull, and the "Percy Jackson" series by Rick Riordan.

    My Favorite Of The Seris

    The book I chose is Pendragon: The Quillen Games. It is written by D.J. Machale, my favorite author. The backdrop of the story is; Bobby Pendragon is your average teenager. He is the star of the basketball team. His uncle tells him to come with him and he was missing for six years after that. In the story he ends up in a warehouse under a game casino. He is on the territory, world, of Quillan. You play games for life. If you win, you get money and you live another day. The people that are running the games are Veggo and Laberge. Though bobby doesn't know it, Saint Dane, the bad guy, took them from the territory Ibarra and set them here. Bobby is accepted as the red traveler. He plays a game a week and if he loses he dies. His plan is to beat Veggo and Laberge at their own game. He is playing who he think is Saint Dane. He kills him and finds out that Nevva Winter is working for Saint Dane. Then he is captured by a gang of people called the revivers. They are trying to stop the dados, cops, from the games. In the end Bobby has a show down with Saint Dane who is a business official. Saint Dane and Nevva Winter get away and go to Ibarra.
    Personally this is my favorite series. This is book seven out of ten. This is my favorite book because, the underground group the revivers is appealing to me. In the end I give this book a four-point five out of five. Also D.J. Machale is my favorite writer of all time.

    Zach's Book Review

    Summary:
    In the seventh Pendragon book, Bobby chases Saint Dane to Quillan where he is forced to play in games where to lose is to die. However, there is an ever more pressing issue. Where is Saint Dane? What does he have in store for the destruction of this territory? While these questions go through Bobby¿s mind he watches as another traveler dies and then soon meets the one from Quillan who explains that she leads three lives: one as the traveler, one as the special assistant for Blok and, most importantly, one as a reviver. She tells him that the revivers are a group of people who want to take Blok down and restore Quillan to the way things were before. They were fighting for freedom. Bobby then knew that this was how he would save Quillan. He would have to help the revivers and meet Mr. Pop (Mr. Pop is a huge library of Quillan¿s past). However, this would also mean he would have to fight in the Grand X. So as usual Bobby is left to do the most dangerous part by putting his life on the line for Halla. Bobby did compete in the Grand X but he barely won. However, even with him winning the Grand X all hope of preserving the past was lost when Mr. Pop was destroyed. The one behind it was the traveler from Quillan, Nevva Winter. One of the travelers had joined Saint Dane and Saint Dane had won another territory.

    Literary Devices:

    The author uses many similes and onomatopoeias to help the reader understand and visualize the scene that he is describing. For example, he compares the Blok¿s company meeting room to a courtroom and then later describes a sound as a Swoosh-crack sound. The author also used hyperboles to add humor to the story. An example of a hyperbole is when Bobby ¿knocked another spider into next week.¿

    Best part of the Book:
    The best part of the book was near the end when Bobby finally ¿meets¿ Mr. Pop. He had only heard of Mr. Pop while he was staying at Veego and LaBerge¿s castle. Needless to say he was excited when he found out that he was to meet him. This was an honor that very few people ever got to experience. Mr. Pop was rumored to be the one thing that would help save the territory. The only reason he was about to meet Mr. Pop was because of the traveler from Quillan. She had introduced him to the revivers, a group set on restoring imagination and spirit to the people. Anyway, when he saw Mr. Pop he realized that ¿he¿ was a place. Mr. Pop was just a code name so that people would think that the place was actually a person. It was a security feature. When Bobby looked upon Mr. Pop he saw that it was a huge library of Quillan¿s past. However, it not only had books but also sculptures, paintings, and even clothing. Mr. Pop was all the history of Quillan; it was the real Quillan that had been forced aside. Mr. Pop was the only thing that stood between Quillan and destruction. It was Mr. Pop that would guide the people of Quillan back to the way it was meant to be.

    Worst Part of the Book:
    The worst part of the book was when Bobby had to watch a traveler that he had never met die as he played against the Campion of the Quillan games. It was a sad part because, if Bobby were there, he could have tried to save him with his unique ability of healing. With this in mind, two travelers were dead and two stuck on another territory.




    Recommendation:
    I would definitely recommend this book because they are full of action and it¿s really neat to explore every new territory and picture it your mind. The
