The Companion's Quartet by Julia Golding is an amazing read, the writing is terrific, the story line is exiting and very interesting. It packs an environmental punch and has a flair of mythology.
A girl named Connie goes to live with her crazy aunt while her brother goes to a boarding school in Manila.
At school she hides her many quirks while trying to unravel the mystery of a local secret society.
Ms. Golding did a tremendous job in portraying Connie's world in this series; the mystery, the action, the emotion and the setting. Even though the books ended, my thoughts remained at Connie's world.
I love these books. I have read them twice and will probably read them again. I strongly recommend this series to fans of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians".
ages 9 and up. very slight language and violence
What a great review. I can't wait to read more!
