The DragonBone Chair by Tad Williams. It’s about a boy named Seoman. His name was changed to Simon because you can only have certain names in the HayHolt. Simon's life starts in the HayHolt. He was a Scallion boy. It meant that he was a kitchen boy. He messed around a lot. He once climbed Green Angel Tower and almost fell off. He soon became Morgene the doctor’s aprintess. One day when he was messing around he went into the cellar. He saw red eyes and heard mumbling. The person was Prytes. Prytes was a priest until King John died. King John’s Elias soon became king after he attacked his brother Joshua. Joshua soon went missing. He appointed Prytes to become the king's hand. Simon had to get out of the cellar. He found a ladder to climb out of the cellar but Prytes noticed him and said, “Who’s there?” Simon looks at Prytes between the floorboards and Prytes looks at him. He ran to a different room and between the floorboards and saw Joshua. He quickly runs to Morgene to get help. They soon help Joshua escape. Late at night Prytes comes with an army of men. Prytes breaks the door down and then Morgene makes a fire spell. He tells Simon to go out to his underground door. Simon soon escapes and now he starts to walk to nail fort. He walked to the forest and saw a pit trap. There was a sitha inside. Simon helped the Sitha out but then a logger came. The sitha shot a white arrow and left. The logger runs away to find the sitha. Simon picks up the white arrow just as a little man comes, his name is Binakik. He comes from the trollfell mountains. He and Simon become friends as they walk to nail fort. They found a girl named Marya. They walked and walked. They soon come to an abandoned sitha city. Binakik gets shot by an arrow by a man. Simon had to carry Binakik through the abandoned city. He soon finds a safe spot in the city and get’s Binakik’s cane. It had a knife in the bottom part of it. Simon and Marya cut the arrow out of Binakik. They soon walk to Nail fort at night. In the morning, Simon had to go to the person that owns Nail Fort. It was Joshua! Joshua had found the book called The Wry Of The Swords. In the back it had a poem. They had to find the 3 greatswords. The greatswords names are called Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. Joshua wants Simon to go on a quest to find Thorn. They have to have all three swords to win the war. I recommend this book for extreme fantasy readers and adventure readers because of all the action and magic in it. It is more on the longer side so I recommend this book for 6th to 8th graders.
