What more can one ask for?" "Two delightful characters are given the opportunity to make a mark on the history of mankind." "Perfect for family reading, and will hold the interest of even the most reluctant of young readers!" ~ Dii Bylo's Review on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31427632 ◆ AMAZON READER REVIEW: Great Adventure for All Ages, 5 Stars! ★★★★★ Reviewed in the United States on Aug 2, 2020 Verified Purchase: "Like the header says, this really was a great adventure to read and one that I think would appeal to all ages. It wasn't until I was part way into the book that I realized it was the second in a series. The story stood well enough on its own and I didn't feel completely lost. It wasn't like staring a season of 24 half-way through or anything. The character and world building are well enough that you are hooked and drawn in like a fish on a line. Overall, the story seems to be written to appeal to the YA crowd, from my POV, but at 50 I enjoyed it. But then I still a lot of my Star Wars toys from being a kid, so I guess I am still one myself at heart. It was a relatively fast read, so if you have a few hours to spare, believe me when I say you could do far worse than giving this a look. Worth the time, trust me. That is if you like stories along the lines of Harry Potter and such in that genre and fantasy world." "Solomon and Carey's imaginative storytelling sweeps you into a fascinating tale of mystery and adventure. Young twins Nadia and Aidan stumble upon an ancient power that could help their family in the future, or trap them in the past forever. Highly recommended!" Linda Zimmermann, author of 30 books on stone chambers and paranormal activity in the Hudson Valley NY. "Diane Solomon and mark Carey have created an atmosphere where one's imagination can run free as two delightful characters are given the opportunity to help make a mark on the history of mankind." "...perfect for family reading, reading alone and definite will hold the interest of even the most reluctant of young readers! What more can one ask for? Age appropriate, believable dialogue and a keen sense of adventure into the unknown in an atmosphere free of gore that is simply magical!"
