When my thirteen year old couldn't stop talking about this book, my nine year old read it and was equally enthusiastic. It's hard to find a book which appeals to both boys and girls and Michael Scott's Necromancer certainly did the trick. The exciting book follows twins Sophie and Josh on a twisting tale of adventure and , frankly, I loved it as well...and I'm in my late thirties! This book is great for kids because it features strong heroines and heroes who take their audience on a masterful ride.
