This is the sequel to Just as Long as We're Together. I read it when I was a little older than when I read the first one. I didn't like it anywhere near as much. This one follows the character of Rachel and doesn't deal with the friend issues as much as family.
This is a historical look at the building & running of the Chicago World Fair. It is a wonderful historic look at the famous men who pulled it off. It is also a study of how large projects have problems and shows one way of solving the problems and delays that can arise. The second story is that of Dr H. H. Holmes one of the 1st serial killers to be exposed in the USA. This book can be graphic, especially if you have read other books like "Mind Hunters". This aspect of the book disturbed me some what. I recommend it if you are interested in history, architecture, project management, or psychotics.
Fascinating first book in a series. Lake has created an interesting YA fantasy with a Medieval feel and tone and budding friendship between the two central characters (Elspeth and Edmund) who must rise to the challenge after finding themselves in the middle of an epic battle of good versus evil. This book has plenty of action and interesting twists but it certainly leaves you wanting to read the next book as fast as possible.
