From the minute you pick up this book you know you are reading something special. It is an intriguing story of mystery and adventure, love and murder, and evolves at a truly satisfying pace.
The story is set in Barcelona, Spain, which seems as entwined in the adventure as New York is to Sex and the City. Daniel Sempere is a 10 year old boy, still grieving for his deceased mother, who takes us on his coming of age tale over the course of a decade. At first light one morning, his widowed father takes Daniel to a secret library of unowned books. Here Daniel finds a magical book that prompts him to find other works by the author, only to discover a web of destruction and tragedy.
I read each page of this book with relish! It was a wonderful story and a celebration of books and reading! It comes highly recommended by me.
The Home Filez rating: 5 stars!
