Trivia

 * For almost four years since the release of The Hungry Isle, it had been the only installment in the Star of Deltora series to not be released as an ebook. Many fans had since been wondering about why this was. It came out on March 18th, 2021 in a blog post by Deltora Quest Wiki's administrator, Lukas Exemplar, that that he had contacted Emily Rodda's publicist, Sarah Hatton, on September 18th, 2020, and gotten reply from one of Scholastic's Publication Coordinators on November 27th, 2020, in which the coordinator revealed the lack of an ebook was simply an oversight and that they would not have noticed had he not contacted them. The coordinator revealed that the book would be converted into an ebook and uploaded to all major retailers within a few days, and so on December 20th, 2020. However, Lukas Exemplar had forgot about his email to Hatton after a month without a reply, and the ebook version, as well as the email reply, were not discovered until the admin Archer of Azzure mentioned to Lukas Exemplar on Discord that the ebook was now on Booktopia.
