This wonderful story may be enjoyed by children and adults alike. I loved it and hope whoever finds it does too!
I've included the amazon.com review for those of you who don't know the book...
"Often compared to Tolkien's Middle-earth or Lewis's Narnia, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea is a stunning fantasy world that grabs quickly at our hearts, pulling us deeply into its imaginary realms. Four books (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, and Tehanu) tell the whole Earthsea cycle--a tale about a reckless, awkward boy named Sparrowhawk who becomes a wizard's apprentice after the wizard reveals Sparrowhawk's true name. The boy comes to realize that his fate may be far more important than he ever dreamed possible. Le Guin challenges her readers to think about the power of language, how in the act of naming the world around us we actually create that world. Teens, especially, will be inspired by the way Le Guin allows her characters to evolve and grow into their own powers.
In this first book, A Wizard of Earthsea readers will witness Sparrowhawk's moving rite of passage--when he discovers his true name and becomes a young man. Great challenges await Sparrowhawk, including an almost deadly battle with a sinister creature, a monster that may be his own shadow"

I found the book on a small table at the Sun Theatre in Yarraville after I'd been to a movie and was waiting for my parter to come out of the bathroom...was very excited to find it - made my night. I have only just started reading it, so can't rate it yet.
Hi,
I found the book in Le Chien, a cafe in Seddon. It doesn't seem to have travelled very far as yet, so maybe I'll try to get at least into the city....oh..the airport would be good. Let it see the world.

I am a member of Bookcrossing and to my delight, my mother on a recent trip home from the mainland found a bookcrossing book at the Melbourne Airport. She brought it home with her to a rural and isolated part of Tasmania where we live as neighbours and the book will be read by one of the 6 boys who live on the farm next door. I will then re-release it. I am a children's author who is disabled and have an association with book-crossing. Mum was very excited to find the book as I had told her all about Bookcrossing. Mum is 61. This book will be re-released in rural Tasmania soon. Love and light to all who read this - Susan Macauley (Aussie Kids Author) Tasmania Australia
