Review - Fans of the Ranger's Apprentice series will love The Ateban Cipher! Book 2 jumps straight into the action and doesn't let up. It was a joy to rejoin Gabe and the other fantastic characters as they continue their quest to free Gwyn and Merry's father and to restore Prince Edward to his rightful place as heir to the throne. The Book of Answers both resolves plotlines begun in Book 1 and hints at new and exciting adventures to come. * Netgalley *
This is the kind of thrilling adventure that has readers turning the pages as fast as they can devour the story along the way discerning many important themes about trust, loyalty, ingenuity and courage.
A. J. Tait's knack for creating these gripping and often tense exploits has been well demonstrated in her Mapmaker Chronicles series (as a reader said to me in the last week of school - "I just LOVE this series - it keeps you on the edge of your seat!") and now continues the success with this new series.
Highly recommended for Upper Primary/Lower Secondary readers both boys and girls.
