I like to read children's and teen books occasionally to keep up with my grandchildren so I chose a book from this series. It's a good read for youth. The companions: Leif, Barda, and Jasmine are on a quest to find the seven gems of the magic belt of Deltora. The gems are a diamond, a topaz, a ruby, an opal, an amethyst, a lapis lazuli, and an emerald. At the beginning of this book they have only one gem - the topaz. Their journey to the Lake of Tears leads them through several adventures which can cost them their lives. When they reach the Lake of Tears they hope to find a second gem. A good read for the young!
