This is a YA book that was interesting and will be viewed by
older readers with a touch of skepticism.
An almost 16 year old girl and her grandfather are embroiled in a
mystery that has a curse, mysterious deaths and possessed machines.
I guess as a grandfather my skepticism is based on the fact
that I would never expose my granddaughter to the dangers Jack, the grandfather
in the book, exposed his granddaughter to.
Jack initiated many really bad examples and led his granddaughter into
multiple illegal activities. Jack also
set his granddaughter up to lie to her mother.
It is possible that I may be a touch provincial regarding grand
parenting but Jack was seemingly out of control. Elizabeth
on the other hand was willing to swallow just about everything Jack
suggested. Sadly I suspect that I have
grandchildren who would accompany me on ill advised adventures but hopefully I
have more common sense than the fictional grandfather.
I know it is fiction and far more preposterous things have
been written. My proclivity for my
g-kids most definitely colored my opinion of the book. Naïveté was named Elizabeth .
If I can suspend my outraged responsibility factor, it was
an entertaining adventure. Considering one of my all time favorite
stories as a child had a space ship fueled by the explosive power of popping
corn, one would think I would be well practiced in stretching the imagination.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
