This book is a very good one, to be honest with you. The beginning is suspenseful, the events are exciting, and the characters are amazing. I recommend not spoiling the book for yourself. I’d not even reading the back of the book until you’re done with the whole thing. It gives too much away and that’s part of the fun of the book. Even my Mom read only the first few pages and she was ready to sit back and read the rest. The book is an automatic recommendation for anybody out there who likes mysteries. The story starts off in Amsterdam, which is the capital of the Netherlands and goes to the United States and on from there. March, the main character, is out with his dad at night on a jewel heist. Then, out of nowhere, his dad, Archie McQuin, falls off of a rooftop and dies. Stranded, with only one thing to keep him going, he heads home and packs up to leave. It turns out his dad left a note in his bag telling March to find “Jewels”. Please stop reading here if you want everything to be a surprise. Those jewels actually are not gems, but his twin sister Jules that he never knew he had. He wasn’t as alone as he thought without either of his parents. March tracks down his sister and although he doesn’t like her too much at first they embark on the journey to continue with their father’s business and collect the cursed moonstones. I can't tell you what they are for, because I don’t want to give too much away. Then the antagonists of the story, Archie’s rivals in crime, who also want the moonstones, try to get the moonstones first. The quest to get to the moonstones make for lots of action. The story then goes on to explain how the race for the moonstones went down and trust me you’ll want to read it. One thing that makes this book different from other “kids” books is that the main character, March, isn’t really a good kid. He’s a thief just like his dad. He’s stolen from people and has no problem doing it. He was even in the process of helping his Dad as a lookout when he died. It’s cool that the author of the book makes you feel bad and even cheer for someone who has lived a life of crime, even if he is only a twelve year old kid. March, may not be a typical hero, but he is a good person at heart who loved his father enough to continue his work, even if it isn’t really the best thing to do. He stands up to the grownups in the story, many of which were not to be trusted, and he and his sister escape the foster home in the United States and well, the rest you’ll have to read for yourself. I’m hoping there will be a second book.
