Now for e-readers, the #1 New York Times bestseller by David Baldacci includes a survival guide, author Q&A, and sneak peek of The Width of the World(Vega Jane, Book 3)!

Vega Jane was always told no one could leave the town of Wormwood. She was told there was nothing outside but the Quag, a wilderness filled with danger and death. And she believed it - until the night she stumbled across a secret that proved that everything she knew was a lie.Now just one thing stands between Vega Jane and freedom - the Quag. In order to leave Wormwood and discover the truth about her world, Vega and her best friend Delph must find a way to make it across a terrifying land of bloodthirsty creatures and sinister magic. But the Quag is worse than Vega Jane's darkest imagining. It's a living, breathing prison designed to keep enemies out and the villagers of Wormwood in. The Quag will throw everything at Vega Jane. It will try to break her. It will try to kill her. And survival might come at a price not even Vega Jane is willing to pay. Master storyteller David Baldacci unleashes a hurricane of action and adrenaline that takes readers to the breaking point.

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she'd given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.")

David published his first novel, ABSOLUTE POWER, in 1996. The feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 48 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers and several have been adapted for film and television. His novels have been translated into over 45 languages and sold in more than 80 countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide. David has also published seven novels for younger readers.

David is also the cofounder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy programs across the United States.

Vega Jane is a wonderful character role for all girls to read and follow.

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2015

Excellent book. Baldacci is a wonderful writer. I read the Finisher just before the Keeper came out. I wanted my grandchildren to read it and therefore I needed to read it before giving it to them. Baldacci has created a wonderful new world which revolves around a head strong Vega Jane's fifteen 'sessions'. I have to admit I've read just about every book he's every written but I was not expecting him to weave a children's story that would leave me waiting for the next installment like that of any of his other character books.
His writing is wonderfully imaginative and 'clean' for any child to be able to read it. Now my grand-daughters and I can share the story of Vega Jane between us. Thank you David Baldacci. I hope with all my heart that Book Three of Vega's journey shows up on the book shelves soon!

A good story in a unique setting but a little slow moving

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2015

This a good story. The plot and characters are interesting And I read both books. Although I enjoyed the story somehow looking back I feel as if I kept waiting for a surprise that didn't materialize. The ending is anti-climactic (Seems clear that another volume will follow) but is not achieved gracefully. Worth the read but it likely won't be your favorite.

I am half way through this book and it is as good or even a little better than the first, Thoroughly enjoing the book.

I guess I was more drawn to this series than I thought because here I am finished with number two.
Very well written, it kept drawing me in. I had to see what was in the next circle and to find out just what awaited Vega Jane. I enjoyed it very much......

I have read 99% of Baldacci's thrillers and not one dog in the bunch! Here in Vega Jane he invents a unique language and her adventures are death-defying as the story runs at full speed! Ray from White Rock, BC Canada.

A very good story with a mixture of magic and interesting plot that you can't put down. I am looking forward to the next two books.

Thriller it is not

Reviewed in Italy on August 5, 2017

When I see Baldacci I buy, accustomed to a fast paced story with government characters or cops or whatever. I did not recognize Vega Jane series but thought it's Baldacci it has to be good. Well, be aware that this is fantasy pure and simple with characters that seem to be various combinations of those from Tolkien. I do not read fantasy. I was disappointed but I finished it. Now I know better to stay away from Vega Jane. Not my cup of tea.
