Who would like this book?
The goods on this book: The Name of The Star is a great book. It is a well-spun plot with mystery, action and humor all in one. It follows Rory, an American student from Lousianna attending Wexford, a Britsh school in London. One more thing about Rory: She can see ghosts. When a Jack the Ripper fake strikes, she gets thrown into a crazy adventure of buried secrets under the Tube with a secret department of ghost-seeing police officers. The Name of The Star is book one in the Shades of London Book series. After reading it you’ll be craving more, so luckily there’s book 2 in the book series, named The Madness Underneath. So get ready for a wild ride through modern London in a hunt for Jack the Ripper.
The details: 372 pages; 2011 Review by Selah D.
