This is an engaging tale about a 14 year-old girl named Janie who moves to London after her parents are deep in trouble with the U.S.A. There, she meets a mysterious boy named Bejaman. Together, they uncover a secret that should have stayed secret. Join the young adventures, and some interesting people they met, on the adventure of at least 10 lifetimes.
I love it when they capture the atomic boom with the net. I like how it symbolizes however bad things are, life will try and try again to throw you a lifeline, and it is up to you to grab it.
There is one startling death in the book, and it mentions a lot of blood and dramatic tension.
My highlight of this story must have been the birl elixir. I am wowed how Malie managed to capture all the hopes and dreams in a tiny bottle.
I liked this book because I LOVE adventure, action, and dramatic books, and this book captures this all.
