MY REVIEW: (by Mom)
I really loved this book. It was quick, fun and full of adventure. It's the most fun a book
can be without witches, vampires, werewolves or wizards.
The characters in this story are great, they are full of life. The author seems to understand
the psyche of the young teenage mind. The interactions between the siblings and the friends
are priceless.
I think this is a great book for Middle School kids. They will get a kick out of Cassidy
and her newfound "superpowers". I enjoyed seeing the bully of the school brought down (although
this was not done by Cassidy...read the book kids)
This is the first in the Cassidy Jones Adventures. Book two is Cassidy Jones
and Vulcan's Gift. Book two is not yet available
but the first chapter can be found on Goodreads .
I highly recommend this book and look forward to book two in the series.
