At last, all five books in the award-winning Rowan series, bound into one volume! In a tightly paced series of adventures, the shy, self-effacing boy Rowan, an unlikely hero, takes on one exciting challenge after another, to first save his village, then his people and finally the beasts he loves best, the gentle bukshah. The adventures are thrilling, the monsters terrible and the characters memorable. These are books to delight and enthral readers of fantasy.

Bravest heart will carry on when sleep is death, and hope is gone. Rowan doesn't believe he has a brave heart. But when the river that supports his village of Rin runs dry, he must join a dangerous journey to its source in the forbidden Mountain. To save Rin, Rowan and his companions must conquer not only the Mountain's many tricks, but also the fierce dragon that lives at its peak.

A review from my old blog...

Rowan of Rin is the first book in a series on the assigned middle school reading list for the district where I live. Before I looked up the list to add to my grand to be read list I had never heard of the book.

I wish some of these books had been written when I was in middle school. I would have grabbed them off the shelf as fast as I could. When I was that age I absolutely loved fantasy and would have incorporated all kinds of aspects into my own writings.

This book deals with very basic issues in a very simple yet profound ways. While I as an adult could see the lessons written into the book by Rodda, Rodda weaved together very simple yet necessary lessons at a writing level perfect for many middle school students.

I can't wait to pick up the next book in the series. I love stumbling across a series after the series has been completed. I don't have to wait for the books to come out.

When the village's stream suddenly stops flowing, Rowan must join the six strongest leaders of Rin on a perilous journey up the Mountain, where a terrifying dragon lurks, and even though Rowan is the weakest of the group, he triumphs over each obstacle and comes face-to-face with the dragon, in a magical adventure.

SUMMARY: The witch Sheba's prophecy is like a riddle. A riddle Rowan must solve if he is to find out the secret of the Mountain and save his home....
