      Move over Indiana Jones, here comes Amber and her pals. Part mystery, all suspense, The Guardians of the Hidden Scepter is a rollicking adventure story that is sure to be literally devoured by even the most stubborn readers. I was immersed enough in these characters and their struggles that I read straight through the book in a hour. Yes, it's really that good.

      A solid plot line is built around Amber's relationship with her archeology teacher, Ms. Holcomb, or Dorothy as she prefers to be called. It was a little off putting to me at first how close these kids were with their teacher. I don't want to spoil anything, but their relationship was one that I have honestly never seen before. However in the true spirit of adventure, I chalked it up to a great story line and read on. This story is equal parts action and explanation. There are portions that are quick and focused on tense (and potentially violent) situations, and then just as quickly the book will move into an explanation on the origin of a word, or back story on a particular culture. I was impressed at how well Frank L. Cole tied together both of these worlds!

      In terms of the characters, Amber and her small group of adventurers are rather easy to relate to. They share a love of archeology and puzzle solving, but at a deeper level each of them is different. They each bring something to the group that makes it complete. My favorite character by far, even though he could be a bit obnoxious at times, was Trendon. As the computer nerd of the group, he was indispensable when it came to information gathering via the Internet. I giggled a few times at how perfectly he fit the mold of the typical "computer geek". Add in a twist in the middle where one of them turns on the others, and well sir and madam, you have me hooked.

      My one question about this story really lies in how easy of a read it will be for the age group it is aimed at. Truth be told this is most definitely an action packed and stunning read. However there is a lot of information presented, as well as some situations that might be uncomfortable for readers who are on the younger side of the YA reading group. I think that The Guardians of the Hidden Scepter is a great fit for advanced readers, or maybe older readers. For that matter it would be a great story to share between a parent and a younger reader. It has a little bit of something for everyone!

      To wrap things up, I very much enjoyed this as a read and happily recommend it to you, my dear readers! If you are an action junkie, a lover of a good fictional story that has historical references, or just a reader who wants something different, this is a book for you.

      This book was fantastic! I did not want to put it down. The book follows Amber, a high school student with an apititude for puzzles and archaeology. After receiving a mysterious letter from their teacher, Amber and 3 fellow students start to worry about her. Their concern soon turns into an adventure that takes the around the world. I love having a strong, smart female character. I know there are others, but I feel like you can never have too many good role models for young women. Especially ones that show it is good to use your brain at all times. The story was fast paced, but it never felt rushed. I read half the book in one sitting without even realizing how much I had read. If I were a few years younger I probably would have finished it in one sitting. There were twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.This book had action and adventure in heaps. Someone calls Amber "Indiana Jane," and I think this is an accurate nickname. I was fascinated by the world and stories presented. I highly recommend this book if you like fun, fast reads full of peril and discovery. This book is set up perfectly for sequels, and I would love to have more of Amber and crew. This is a great book! Galley provided by publisher for review.

      My thoughts:Wow! Well written! Edge of your seat adventure! If you are an Indiana Jones fan, this one's for you! Highly recommend this one for young adult readers! This is a story of teamwork, faith, friendship, betrayal, trust, mystery, struggle, and belief. I enjoyed every page! The characters are great; thoughtfully created and charming in their own ways. The storyline is fantastic! This would be a great read-a-loud for middle school. This is one of those stories that gets a person excited about reading. This is one of those books that you read and then later ask yourself, "Did I read that or was that a movie?" The writing is so descriptive and detailed that you find yourself easily able to "see" the story unfold in your mind's eye as you read. I love that the theme throughout the book is believe in yourself, but it also has this under-riding vein of not necessarily spiritualism, but again belief or perhaps the desire to do the right thing for the right reason is a better way of putting it. The goal of the story is to save the artifact from the bad guys, but the Trendon and Amber have to decide on their own who the "bad guys" are, who the "good guys" are, and what the "right thing" to do is. The Guardians of the Hidden Scepter is a fantastic, empowering, young adult adventure.
