AXEL RHODES AND THE GOLDEN SCARAB

“I was enthralled by it and happily look forward to reading the next book in the series. … One thing is certain: it can be classified as good entertainment. It reminded me in many ways of the Indiana Jones series of movies, … and would make a very decent movie itself. I strongly recommend this for any reluctant readers in the target age group, with the understanding that mom and dad will also want to read it.”
