Book Review: Jacob of Avondale

Hey, blog followers! Here is the extended review that I promised you.

Jacob of Avondale

By: P. Craig Packer

***** 5/5 stars! This is a very fun, uplifting adventure book with just a touch of romance. It is set in a castle with the frivolous, gaudy, and power hungry King and Queen and their unexpectedly kind and down to earth daughter, Catherine. Jacob is an orphan servant in the castle who likes excitement but knows when to keep his head down. It all starts with Jacob seeing something he wasn't supposed to see, something that will change his life forever.

As the adventure begins and then throughout Jacob's quest, we encounter some magic that moves the story along without the magic taking over the story. The real story is about kindness, strength of character, and the importance of friends and family.

We see Jacob and his friends learn and grow throughout their journey while loving and supporting each other. We see all of the characters in the book be given opportunities to choose between right and wrong and how those choices effect those around them.

I love happy endings, I love when the good guys win, and I LOVE THIS BOOK!

This book would be great for readers about 10ish up and would be a super fun book to read as a family with only one warning, I had a hard time putting it down!!! 

Stay tuned for my interview with the author, P. Craig Packer, as well as the book offer!!

My original review:

I really liked this book!! It was mostly adventure with a bit of romance. A fun read that I had a hard time putting down. It is a young adult book probably good for 10ish up. It is clean with no bad language. Could be a fun bedtime book with the whole family!!

Get Excited About Jacob of Avondale!!

Some of you may remember that I read this book a little while ago and really,really liked it. Well, I have been emailing with the author, Craig Packer, and he has agreed to give me an interview!! I am super excited about this and literally had butterflies in my stomach when I received his acquiescence!!! :D

BEST OF ALL, Craig offered (because he is awesome like that) to either:

A. Give a free copy of Jacob of Avondale to one of my lucky blog readers

OR

B. To make Jacob of Avondale available for purchase at half price (on a preset number if books). 

I need your help, blog readers! Let me know which offer sounds better to you, A or B.

Also, I would love submissions of interview questions! I am fully capable of coming up with random interview questions, but I would love to have the questions you have answered as well.  I will give you about a week to submit questions which should give those who want to read the book, time to do so.

Comment either on the blog or the blog's Facebook page your vote on the offer as well as any interview questions you may have. 

I'll be posting my extended review of Jacob of Avondale soon. In the meantime, I suggest everyone get to reading so you all can be as excited about this as I am!!! (You won't regret it ;)
