The First Escape - The Dopple Ganger Chronicles

Isambard Dunstan's School for Wayward Children is a place that is filled to the brim with orphaned children. Sadie and Saskia Dopple are identical twins in every single way except for the colors of their eyes. They have even been known to sense one another's thoughts and know when the other is in danger.

When Muzz Elliot, a wealthy woman shows up one night in search of an heir to adopt, she takes Saskia and leaves Sadie behind. How will they be able to cope being apart for the first times in their life? The only hope remaining for Sadie is her friend, a boy named Erik Morrissey Ganger. He was left behind one night when his their/father abandoned him on the steps. He never came back. He is the only boy in the home but likes earning an honest living even if it's one cooking and cleaning. At least he isn't stealing.

Meanwhile Saskia learns the secret of her adoption to Muzz Elliot. Legend has it that Muzz's grandfather hid his treasure when the great Potato Famine came to prevent it from being stolen. The sad thing is that he couldn't remember where he had hidden it. When an unexpected visitor shows up in Saskia's room leaving behind a key, the adventure truly begins in search for unanswered questions and secret treasures.

I received the book The First Escape - The Dopple Ganger Chronicles by G.P. Taylor compliments of Tyndale House Publishers. After reading the sequel some time ago, The Secret of Indigo Moon, I had to see how this story began. For fans of children's action adventures like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia, then you will fall in love with these books. They are written for young adults to keep them engaged from the first page. A combination of comic book and written words, this book makes time fly and keeps the reader completely engaged in the story.

My kids both 17 and 12 loved this book and have to say its unlike an book either of them have ever read. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars. So if you are looking for a book for children 8 and up, this one is a perfect place to start!

The Black Madonna

Ever wonder if there is a great book out there somewhere that combines all the action of movies like Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark, Lara Croft Tomb Raider, as well as parts of the DaVinci Code? Well I've found it.

The newest novel from Davis Bunn called The Black Madonna is just the book for you adventure fans looking for a little thrill in your reading. I was captivated by the story from page one. The main character is Storm Syrrell whose company lies on the verge of complete bankruptcy. She is in the business of bidding on unique items to sell to her exclusive and very wealthy clientele in Palm Beach, yet due to the latest economic downfall, Storm hasn't had the funds to purchase anything new and exciting.

Yet when the bankers call to remind her of the severe debt in her account, she finds herself at the end of the rope. However, one afternoon, she gets a phone call saying that four hundred thousand dollars has just been wired to her account and the person on the other end of the phone is telling her that he wants her on the next plane to bid for an ancient Russian oil painting.

Is this the lucky break she has been waiting for? When the caller keeps his identity hidden and the cost to acquire the item at the auction has no limit, Storm begins to wonder who is on the other line?

This amazing new novel takes you all around the world, while Storm and her friend, Emma who works for Homeland Security begins to unlock the secrets in the antiquities that are being auctioned off and just what their true motives are in obtaining religious items especially one item that has claims to stop time.

Trust me, this is the best action packed book, I've read in quite a long time. I read it in one sitting, not being able to put it down. It held my interest all the way to the end. I would rate this book a perfect 5 out of 5 stars~!!! This is the second in a series of books where Storm Syrrell returns back on paper. The first is Gold of Kings.

I received this book compliments of Glass Road Public Relations for my honest review.
