review 1: MontanaLibrary2GoStrange, I don't know how I neglected to add and review this book, I thought that I had done so. Since I've already written a review for the third book in the series, it's difficult to go back and remember specifically how I felt about this middle book. Especially now that I know the series will not be completed (lack of resolution changes how I feel about a series). So, no proper review here.
review 2: Book 2 of the Oracles of Delphi Keep series by Victoria Laurie. After I read it, I went back and reread Book 3 in the series, Quest for the Secret Keeper. A good fantasy/action series for (mostly) boys about 4th grade and up. It's set at the beginning of WWII so there's some historical aspects about the story as well, but it is not histori... morecal fiction. I definitely suggest reading the books in order starting with the first one, Oracles of Delphi Keep.The plot--several children living in an orphanage in Dover, England, find they have become involved in a mysterious prophecy from the ancient Oracle of Delphi, a prophecy whose outcome will determine the fate of the world. The children have to locate other children obliquely referred to in the prophecy, battle and/or outwit sorcerors, sorceresses, hell hounds, and Nazis, and recover a series of silver boxes in which they find more parts to the prophesy and clues which lead to the next search. The kids can move through time and space using portals and they have help from various adults living in the children's time as well as a few adults who have come through the portals from ancient Greece, etc.This probably sounds more complicated than it is. To keep it all straight, however, the books need to be read in order. less
