Jenny and her friends are dealing with the aftermath of the events of the first book. No one believes them about their friend's death and the paper house is still missing. When they finally find the paper house it is ripped to shreds and they don't know if Julian was released or not. All is soon reveled and they begin a new deadly game where Jenny's friends are disappearing one by one. This book wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The first half of the book is pretty dull. The action does pick up but it's barley enough to make up for the first half. I did like how we got to know the characters better but I didn't like how little Julian there was. The book kind of struck me as a filler book but I'm sure the last in the series will be much better.

ONE Little Girl.... ONE Big mystery.... Only ONE person and a large sprinkling of Christmas magic can help!.... Non-stop thrills, spills, excitement & confusion following a young girl & her Daddy on a spellbinding adventure as she searches for a simple answer to a simple question; But its never quite that simple, is it?!?... A heart-warming tale for ages 7 to 107+. PLEASE REVIEW! Thank you.A festive tale following a young girl named Madison who, along with her Daddy, find themselves drawn into a magical adventure on Christmas Eve in a quest to answer a simple yet pressing question; Where is the Moon & why is it Missing?.... To find the answer, they embark on an exciting journey that begins with a visit to a local Santa's Grotto, eventually leading to an experience beyond their wildest dreams, with a few twists & revelations all the way to its conclusion... I wrote this book in 2009 for my daughter who at this point in time (Sept '11) has only just turned 4. What started out as a simple 3 or 4 page story for very young children turned into what it is now, a short novel for ages 6 or 7+. Thus, my daughter will sadly not be ready for this for another year or 2 yet. However, it is my pleasure to make it available to ANYONE in the world for FREE as writing is my passion, not my profession; I am honoured by every single download. I must add that from the feedback I have received after sending out more than 100 copies to adults, it seems grown-ups take just as much pleasure from this story as kids, if not more! It appears to have a way of taking adults back to THEIR childhood & rekindling distant, fond memories that seemed lost, but were obviously not totally forgotten.Younger children (6-8) may need this reading to them but most will find it manageable. More importantly, they will all find it enchanting & heart-warming, hopefully heaping a large helping of magic into their lives.As I write now, work is underway on a sequel and the ante has most definitely been upped. The whole story is ready in my head, there is just the simple matter of getting it written now!.... The aim is an even more enthralling & gripping continuation of the aftermath of this book, I know I can deliver now that I know what ball park I am playing in, so to speak. And that's the story of what happened when a piece of simple writing aimed at a 2 year old took on a mind of it's own. Frankly, I don't mind one little bit.

Tasked to expose a coin counterfeiting scheme, Luca and Isolde travel to Venice just in time for Carnival. Amid the masks, parties, and excitement, the romantic attraction between the two reaches a new intensity that neither can deny. Their romance is interrupted by the arrival of the alchemist, who may be the con artist they’ve been looking for. But as Luca starts to investigate the original charge, the alchemist reveals his true goal—he plans to create the Philosopher’s Stone, a mystical substance said to be capable of turning base metals into gold and producing the elixir of life. With pounds of undocumented gold coins and an assistant who claims to be decades older than she appears, all evidence points to the possibility that the alchemist has succeeded in his task. But as Luca and Isolde get closer to the truth, they discover that reality may be more sinister than they ever could have imagined.
