I sat down with Deception Peak and finished the book in one sitting. As I was reading the story I was thinking “My son would like this book”.
Dianne weaves a story that is interesting, easy to follow, and filled with excitement, and adventure.
The main character in the story takes a boy named Ian and his father into a world of adventure as they travel through a portal in their own home. Ian and his father Alex travel back and forth between their world and this other world several times before they are finally trapped in the alternate world and separated from each other.
Most of the story finds Ian attempting to escape from the Meneks and trying to find his father. Friendships are built as he experiences adversity each and every time you turn the page.
Not all friendships are meant to last, and some of Ian’s new friends earn a hero’s funeral.
Does Ian find his dad? Well it is a young adult fantasy novel, so you might think he finds him in the end.
Does the book end happily every after? Happily ever after is so different for each person, I wont spoil the ending here.
Well worth reading and I will definitely being reading this again with my son.
It would be save to let children 3rd Grade and above read this story. No profanity and no sexual references. There is a minor bit of violence, but none so graphic or detailed that younger children could not read the novel.
5 out of 5 Stars for a very well written story in regards to content, technical style, and enjoyability.
