-From the inside flap-
AFTER A DISASTROUS SIXTH GRADE, Jake Herndon is anxiously awaiting his Big Do-Over, starting with his new school's notorious seventh grade sleepover. Awkward team-building games and forced fun quickly become the least of his problems, however, when a dangerous organization invades and the night takes a shocking turn. Jake and two new classmates, Lucy and T.J., barely escape, only to find themselves in a fight for survival on the streets of Chicago. Over the next 48 hours they unravel a mystery dating back to the Civil War and an incredible secret about Jake's family.
Full of unforgettable characters and unexpected twists, The League and the Lantern is a jaw-dropping ride of mind-bending revelations and laugh-out-loud humor. If Jake and his new friends can make it through this weekend, they just might have a shot at seventh grade.
Can 3 seventh-graders save the day?
Obviously I'm not exactly the target age for this book, but....sometimes it's fun to pop out the norm and just go for it. The League And The Lantern is a book that I would have totally loved as a tween and I still got totally into the story even as an adult reader. It is wild, action-packed adventure sure to keep readers of any page breathlessly turning the pages as fast as they can. Another thing I have to say is that this is one beautiful book, it's hardcover with a totally eye-catching dust jacket, and is one that will likely hold up to lots of reading. |
This Book received a 4 Bark rating.
