Unlike many other books, when Jacob is confronted with evil he doesn’t rely on violence.
This tale is aimed at YA readers, but I was so enchanted by this adventure, that I had to read the second, then the third. However, by the fourth book, the adventures didn’t draw me in the way the first three in the series had.
This is yet another book made into a movie, where the book outshines the movie.
