  • ONE OF A GREAT SERIES

    These books are all wonderful! A wonderful format using vintage photos to set the tone and facilitate the story. Very clever! There is some violence but it is not gratuitous or overwhelming in quantity or character. I have now read the entire series and found them all difficult to put down. The ages these books are aimed toward are teenagers through young adults
