Grady Whill and the Templeton Codex by Carole P. Roman with a giveaway

I really enjoyed this start to a new series. I feel that children about 12 and older (even adults) will enjoy this adventure story. I felt that this book is a very good set up for what is going to start to happen in the next book in the series. I really like Grady. I like that he questions why they are at this special school. I really liked Aarush because he takes life in stride. I like that he knew who he was. I liked that there was a bit of action and wish that there had been a little more. I received a copy of this book from ireadbooktour for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

I give this book a four out of five stars.
