About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

It's here, and I've made more than one readers' day. For those of you on the holds list, don't worry it's a fast read and will be in your hands before long.

Summary:
Amy and Dan are in a race for their lives... and the enemy may be even closer than they think. When seven members of their family were kidnapped by a sinister organization called the Vespers, thirteen-year-old Dan and his older sister Amy, vowed that they stop at nothing to bring the hostages home.  But then the ransom comes in and the Vespers demand the impossible. Amy and Dan have just days to track down and steal an anicent map. The only catch? No one has seen the map in over half a century.
Now Amy and Dan are on a desperate search that will lead them to the Nazis, spies, a mad king and some of histories dirtiest secrets . It's the race of their lives ... and one misstep will mean certain death for the hostages.
