Book Review--A King's Ransom

Cahills vs. Vespers: A King's Ransom by Jude Watson. I just ate this book up. I loved visiting Prague through Amy and Dan's eyes and trying to stay a step ahead. The new characters that were introduced in the first book are getting more involved and I really enjoy their interaction with everyone. I'm intrigued by how things are beginning to twist and turn and new thoughts are weaving their way into what I had in mind. It's a wonderful series that anyone would love!

With the lives of their kidnapped relatives on the line, Amy and Dan are given another impossible request—steal a priceless map that’s been missing for more than half a century. As the body count rises, Amy and Dan start a frantic search across Europe and through one of the darkest periods of human history. However, the secrets they uncover about the Vespers are nothing compared to the most shocking discovery of all—someone thought to be dead seems very much alive . . .

The 39 Clues: In Too Deep Jude Watson

I have enjoyed this series. The first book written by Rick Riordan was phenomenal. The rest of the series was sort of a letdown. This one renewed my faith in the series. I enjoyed the characterization, the story and the plots twists that now make sense. I’m more excited for the next few now rather than knowing I would read them just to read them because it’s a series kids like. www.the39clues.com

Rules Cynthia Lord

This was a fascinating book about an autistic child told from the perspective of his sister. I loved how she learned and grew in dealing with a sibling that was far from easy to handle. I loved the way she learned and hearing what her true feelings were. The author did a great job in portraying everyone in the story. www.cynthialord.com

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Found and it left me curious as to how she was going to pull everything together. I liked her take on the time travel and seeing oneself in the future/past. I liked how the kids had to depend on each other and never gave up. The historical element of it worked really well also. I learned more about the 15th century way of life. I’m excited about the next one in the series. www.haddixbooks.com/home.html
