The Secret of the Indigo Moon, book two in DG the Dopple Ganger Chronicles, was a great read to where the first book left off. Who built the secret tunnel underneath Isambard Dunstan's School for Wayward Children? Where did Miss Olivia disapear to? And who is robbing Lord Gervez? Join Saskia, Sadie, and Erik on their exciting new adventure as they uncover new mysteries, run for their lives, and run into old enemies.
This book had a little more of a faith element than the first one. Madame Rapheal doesn't admit to being an angel, but she does say, "I am a maker of straight roads and a sign post to someone else." I really liked seeing her character answer a couple of questions and leave more riddles. The book focused a little more on Erik than the first one, and tossed around the subject of the children's parents who have abandoned them. The dedication was beautiful:
For
All children who have never known their fathers
and
All fathers who have never known their children.
Let us know we are loved and adored just as we are...
One of the things I love about this series is that the author keeps it light and kid friendly while gently pushing in deeper topics. The only thing I don't particuraly like is some of the violent situations the kids find themselves in like being held at gun-point. It is very much an action and adventure book that kids of all ages will love.
I received a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes from Tyndale House. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
