Everworld: Discover the Destroyer by K.A Applegate  

Posted by Amanda Orlich


What I really liked about this book, told from David's point of view again, was that it was much more lighthearted than the previous four.

David, Jalil, Christopher, and April have escaped Hel's truly terrifying domain, only to find themselves in the dragon Nidhoggr's lair. The dragon is sad because the leprechauns (yes, Christopher said it was bound to happen, and it did.) stole four of his prized possessions. Did I mention that Nidhoggr lives in a GIANT pile of gold and treasure? The fairy folk have stolen 4 fae relics from the dragon, so in exchange for their lives, David offers to bring back his relics. Nidhoggr exchanges David's, Christopher's, April's, and Jalil's hearts for solid rubies as "good faith money", so to say. If they don't return with the dragon's relics in 6 days, their hearts will explode in fire. (Funny enough...Senna gets to keep her heart...Nidhoggr need a diamond to replace her hard heart.)
This book follows the five human teenagers into the fairy realm of Everworld where they build , bargain, and try to rescue April when Senna turns on them again.
Good book. Not as exciting or deadly as some of the previous ones, but after their trip into Hell, something like this was needed.
