The Dark Hills Divide
Inquisitive twelve-year-old Alexa Daley is spending another summer in the walled town of Bridewell. This year, she is set on solving the mystery of what lies beyond the walls. Legend says the walls were built to keep out an unnamed evil that lurks in the forests and The Dark Hills. But what exactly is it that the townspeople are so afraid of?
As Alexa begins to unravel the truth, pushing beyond the protective barrier she’s lived behind all her life, she discovers a strange and ancient enchantment. Armed with an unexpected new power, Alexa exposes a danger that could destroy everything she holds dear – and change The Land of Elyon forever.

Alexa thought her troubles were over when she defeated the man who threatened to bring down Bridwell from within.

Suddenly, Alexa is involved in a battle much, much larger than her own life-a battle in which she is destined to play a key role.
In order to help good defeat evil, Alexa and her friends must venture father that they’ve ever gone before-confronting giants, bats, ravenous dogs, and a particularly ghoulish mastermind in order to bring peace to The Land of Elyon.

Stargazer
When last we saw Alexa Daley, she had defeated a threat in her homeland and was sailing with Roland Warvold across the Lonely Sea. She had no idea what adventures awaited her…until now.
After a tragic attack by an evil force, Alexa and her friend Yipes are stranded in a strange community known as The Five Stone Pillars. Each pillar of rock has its own secrets…and its own challenges. As darkness descends, Alexa must risk everything to defeat it—even if it means taking to the skies.

Are the Land of Elyon series ever going to be finished?….
I LOVE your books Mr.Carman, I’ve read them all at least five times each, and I was wondering if you’re going to make the books into a movie? That would be really cool!!! ;D
Wooo the land of elyon was the best! read all of the books! Loved all of the characters also! Murphy was the funniest and Victor Grindall was an awesome villain (always liked the villains, really don’t know why) There has to be a sixth one! without it I feel the world will come to an end (hopefully you wright one before 2012 ;D lol)
I would like to know if The Tenth City will be published in Spanish any time soon?
Thank you
I’m not sure about The Tenth City in Spanish, but I know the rights were sold so hopefully soon! I’d ask you’re local bookseller, they should be able to figure it out for you. Thanks – PC
i totally love this series when is the tenth city comin out
Hello I’m french and so I would like to know when The tenth City would be published in french please ? Or is it ever done ?
Thanks a lot to answer me, I really love this book and I am impatient to discover the following book !
Hey I was wondering if there was going to be a nother book
This is, above all, my all time favorite book. It’s full of adventure and fantasy.
I really think there should be a 6th book in this series. I just finished The Tenth City today. I cant even bear the thought of going without a few more books to ease the boredom and loneliness of my life. So if you could please write a sixth book, I would truly be in your debt.
Is there a 6th book called Fenwick Forest Fright coming up soon or will there be more to the series?
Elyon update: I think there will be at least one more book, but I have to wrap up a few other projects first. Stay tuned, and thank you for reading the series! PC
pratick hello, I would like to know if you have some of your books, especially The Land of Elyon in mexico, state of Guanajuato?, only read the first and I liked a lot but I need to see if some of your edits here in Mexico. I expect answers.
greetings
Hi Patrick, I think your Land Of Elyon series is the best! I read all of the time, but I haven’t found a book better then yours. I also really loved the Black Circle (39 clues.)
these books iook really god but idk if i should read them
valley of thorns was THE BEST great setting GREAT everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there defently should be a 6th book i do kind agree patrick you should write another
you should totally write a sixth book im on the fourth right now it took me forever to read it can’t wait for the sixth.(i hope!)
i dont know about a bear attak that sound exiting though
i just love the books and the way that you just get suked in to the books
This series is amazing and a great escape to a distant land, i can’t wait for the next one (if there will be one)!
i know me to megan
You should definetly make another book called fenwick forest frightcuz iheard it on http://www.answers.com and it sounds coolthatsomeone should try to overthrow ander and kill alexa. There should also be a bear attack with ander and the be a bear attack with ander and the bear trying tooverthrow ander. Alexa should keep having nightmares and flashbacks and gets hurt b the bear trying to overthrow ander, locked in a cage and rescued by yipes. Please use this idea!!! I’m 12 and want to read aboutthis by the bestauthor! I even think this series is slot better than the 39 clues series.

The Land of Elyon series is probably one of the best series I’ve read in a while, with Atherton a close runner up. I liked the way Atherton ended, but I would really love another Elyon book. Any news on that, Patrick?
