Publisher's Summary

Do you have the courage, the wits, and the skill to claim a dragon's hoard? If so, apply within . . . The sign is small, tucked into the corner of Mr. Clutter's bookshop window: “Adventurers Wanted. Apply Within.” No one but fifteen-year-old Alex Taylor even seems to notice it is there. And for Alex, who has wished for a change in his life, it is an irresistible invitation.Upon entering Mr. Clutter's shop, Alex is swept away on an incredible adventure to a faraway land filled with heroic warriors, mysterious elves, and hard-working dwarves. Alex becomes the eighth man in a band of adventurers seeking the lair of Slathbog the Red - an evil dragon with a legendary treasure. Along the way, Alex and his new friends must battle dangerous trolls and bandits, face undead wraiths, and seek the wisdom of the Oracle in her White Tower. Alex's adventure takes him to distant and exotic lands where he learns about courage, integrity, honor, and, most importantly, friendship.

Fun fantasy adventure series

The concept behind this story was original fun and great to listen to. Going to an adventurer shop to pick out an adventure I loved.

The story was engrossing with interesting characters and details. great for a family road trip.

Warning: There are scary scenes with some scary voice modifications. this may not be the best book for younger kids.

Gary-stu much

The concept is really cool, but the main caracter is a Gary-Stu with no personality, while the secondary characters are plain boring.
