This was a great book. I know that this book is very light reading for me but I have always loved this series. In this book Jack and Annie are sent by Merlin on a Merlin Mission. They go to Ireland in the 19th century and their mission is to inspire a girl named Augusta so that she can share her amazing gift, her mesmerizing potential with the rest of the world. Jack and Annie face a few obstacles along the way but after all that is one of the milestones in making a great story, creating conflicts. They successfully achieve their goal in the end.
Dan Frischman keeps the reader on the edge of their seat exasperated and aching for more. In this book he combines suspense and a sense of bewilderment. Two daring children go on an adventure that at times even they cannot believe what is going on around them. This author is really amazing. The sense of thrill is literally overwhelming. He makes the very realistic other than the fact that magic is involved. A lot of things that go on in the story readers of similar age to the characters can relate to. I think that this is an important aspect of writing a story.
