Reviews
The story is profusely rich
and full of suspense, it's
simply a capricious chamber
of surprises that might
astound you by any moment
possible. It's definitely the
kind of book you can't put
down once you've laid your
eyes on its pages. It will also
gladden you to find the story
ends itself with a suspenseful
account of happy ending!-
Ernest Junius
This fascinating work
shows how useful proper
management can be as
well as many other
important morals. I

readers of any age that
are in search of an
adventure book.-Vardan
