The Hungry Isle Kindle 1

For about 2-3 years I've tried to find what had actually happened to make The Hungry Isle not be released as an ebook. I tried many ways to contact Scholastic, but I always got in touch with the wrong departments. Always one that had nothing to do with the actual publishing of the books.

But then, last year, on September 8, 2020, after a few days of trying to find out how to contact Rodda's own publicist (whose address is in the books themselves, I finally managed to find an official email address used by her, and so I contacted her about it. This was done based on a recommendation by Scholastic themselves.

It took about a month time to get a reply, so I also sort of forgot about the email a few times. However, about ten hours ago one of our admins, Archer of Azzure, alerted me and the rest of the staff on our wiki's Discord to the fact that Booktopia now had the ebook. This happened in our locked and hidden staff Discord channel.

I wondered, had they ever replied?? So I went on my email and searched around. I found out that one of Scholastic's publication coordinators - let's call her S.C.S. had reached back to me on November 27, and she told me that the fourth Star of Deltora book had simply slipped through the crack and they had never noticed they hadn't converted it to an ebook. They told me that they would never have known and remedied this error had they not seen my email. And, a few days later, it had been converted and uplaoded to all major retailers.

So, The Hungry Isle is now available as an ebook! Since December 20th, in fact. Sorry for missing this and being this late!


Thank you, Sarah Hatton, thank you coordinator S.C.S. from Scholastic, thank you to our admin Archer of Azzure for telling me.


You can get the ebook on various different platforms, including the trusty old Booktopia: https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-hungry-isle-emily-rodda/ebook/9781761123542.html
