The Quest (for a Good Book)

This week, I'm sharing chapter book stories about going on a quest.  Here are a few of our favorites . . . .

Wizard at Work by Vivian Vande Velde
A young wizard, who runs a school to teach wizards, looks forward to a quiet summer off but is drawn into adventures with princesses, unicorns, and ghosts instead.

So B. It by Sarah Weeks
After spending her life with her mentally retarded mother and agoraphobic neighbor, Heidi sets out from Reno, Nevada, to New York to find out who she is.

The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
Taran sets out on a mission to save Prydian from the forces of evil.

The Inquisitor's Tale by Adam Gidwitz
Crossing paths at an inn, thirteenth-century travelers impart the tales of a monastery oblate, a Jewish refugee, and a psychic peasant girl with a loyal greyhound, the three of whom join forces on a chase through France to escape persecution.
