Review:
If you are looking for a good summer book about a quest, the first book in the Copernicus Legacy series - The Forbidden Stone - might be the book for you.

In this book, four kids and their dad go off to Germany for a funeral of their uncle. They find out that their uncle left them a mysterious letter about something called the Copernicus Legacy. They need to find twelve relics to rebuild the Copernicus Legacy. If the bad guys get the legacy before they do, the earth is highly likely to be destroyed.

The main characters are:

• Wade: Wade was adopted by a professor from Austin. He really like space and math and his family. Wade is my favorite character.

• Lily: Lily is like my sister. She never shut up in the whole book and is really into her clothes. But she is smart too, just like my sister. My sister would not do too well on the quest though. She would be freaked out in her mind when they find the first relic. (Read the book to find out why!)

• Darrell: Darrell is the mystery guy in the book. He always suspects people and has weird ideas. He is also a goofball.

• Becca: Her head is always in a book learning things.She is like Hermoine Granger from the Harry Potter series. 

This book takes place in the summer. I like it because:

• It takes place in Europe and is kind of mysterious.
• It is sort of scary and the heat might drive away your fear.

I so want to read the other books in the series.You will too.

If you want to learn more about this book or buy it (it is $14.32 at Barnes and Noble), here it the author's web site:

Hey - if you don't want to spend $14.32, I borrowed my copy from the library. 

Have a booky night!
