Soul Stealer: The Alchemist's Son Part II

My granddaughter introduced me to this book and its predecessor. The story is creative and captivating while still delivering positive messages. I highly recommend it for the 11-13 year old group.

A Good Read

Soul Stealer, the sequel to Alchemist's Son is a wonderful book. It brings that touch of fantasy in without going over the board and tipping it into a different world. The setting is in England and although you occassionally forget that, the author is very good at reminding you. I would rate it five stars but for one thing. These books were obviously supposed to be part of series, unfortunately the author died the year after publishing Soul Stealer. So while any good book leaves you wanting more, this one leaves you wanting just a bit too much more.
