I love this book. This was the book that made me start thinking about doing a book review blog. I want everyone to know about this book. I loved it so much
Synopsis
This is a story about a boy who was washed ashore while a baby. A grave robber found the baby and adopted him to be his son, and to help him rob graves. At age thirteen the boy pairs up with a princess who is fleeing the evil archduke. Through this meeting the boy is flung into adventure and find out his true identity.
My thoughts
This book is the perfect blend of adventure, humour and romance. the pace is perfect. It keeps you engaged and not lost. You can perfectly picture what is going on. For me a sign of a good author/book is when I can see the action playing in my mind like a movie. This book does just that. I could see clearly what was happening, what the characters and locations looked like.
This book would be great for boys and girls. I know that is hard to find books these days that really get boys excited about reading. There is enough adventure and action happening that it would keep a boy's attention.
It is also so nice and refreshing to read an adventure book without having to worry about explicit scenes occurring. You could just get lost in the adventure and not have to read through, swearing, gore, and sexual intentions. Nice and clean.
Although the book is meant for kids 10 and up I think adults would love to read this book. It would be a great one to read together as a family.
