Add a CommentThis is a great summer book. Michael D. Beil proves once again he can create awesome relatable characters. Just enough nostalgia to entice readers.
A nice little mystery for the gentler reader.
I hope no one would really name their twins Hetty and Haley, and having a 'Nick' and 'Nicholas' tripping over each other throughout the story was annoying. Too bad the boy wasn't named after his father Will instead! Sometimes the author's story-telling technique is a little heavy-handed and 'my, aren't these kids cute', but the novel is interesting and realistic, a nice change from the usual magicians, demons, knights, and Greek, Roman, Scandinavian etc. gods and goddesses over-populating kid's stories lately. The author gets in a couple of recommended titles, too, as one kid or another discovers a good book over the summer.
