Original title: The Farseekers

I give this book 4 out of a possible 5 stars.

The Farseekers is the second book in the Obernewtyn series. The chronicle is about Elspeth Gordie. The previous book is Obernewtyn, the following books are Ashling, The Keeping Place and The Stone Key.

Named a honour book in the 1991 Childrens Book Council of Australia book of the year award you know it is going to be a good book before you turn the first page.

I chose to read this book as I read the first book Obernewtyn. The series is about Eslpeth Gordie, a Misfit who has a great amount of power, and a big adventure ahead of her.

I enjoyed this book though near the end it did get a bit confusing, but it put itself all back together later.

If you like books about mind powers and adventure you should consider reading the Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody.
