Secrets of Deltora is a companion book to the Deltora Quest series, written by Emily Rodda. The book is written in a way that make it seem like it was written by Doran the Dragonlover, the same way she wrote The Deltora Book of Monsters and Tales of Deltora to read like works by Josef. The book is a travel guide of Doran the Dragonlover's adventures and his personal journal and diary. Secrets of Deltora is filled with illustrations by Marc McBride. It is due to be published in the US and other countries in 2009. It contains a fold-out map of The Land of Dragons or The Land of Deltora, and riddles, and a secret message. It is currnetly only in hardback/
There is a secret message within the book, and it is coded so that the verse of 'Traditional Dragon Poetry' (which is actually nonsense) at the start of each chapter tells you how to find it. To find the secret message you must remove any words in the 'poem' which are to do with dragons or fire, and read the remaining words in reverse order. This code is very similar to the codes written by Doom and Lief to each other in Deltora Quest 3.
