McNamee, Eoin The Ring of Five Book #3: The Ghost Roads 336 pgs.Wendy Lamb Books, 2012. $11.98. (Rating: PG13)
In this book there is an upper world and a lower world, and those who know how to travel between them. Danny is the main character and he is confused about his loyalties and his growing powers. He is supposed to be a member of the group called The Ring of Five, but he doesn’t know who to trust. In the meantime Ambrose Longford is continuing his plan to rule both worlds and Danny is trying to rescue his adopted mother, Pearl.
This was the 3rdbook in a series, a conclusion –and it is not a stand-alone. You must have read the other books in the series to understand this one. I still muddled through and beyond the wall of confusion found a book I really didn’t care for. The plot and even the character names were over dramatic and theatrical. There was some sexy spy innuendo that made me immediately cut it from consideration for elementary libraries. I only recommend buying them if your middle school students have loved the first two books.
