I was very fortunate to receive a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. It has a familiar time & setting that all readers can easily identify with: summertime. And as the long, lazy days of summer stretch out, endlessly before you, there are games to play, dragons to slay, and new worlds to discover and conquer. That is exactly what the protagonists Michelle and Andrew do every summer. They become explorers, seeking new worlds. And then one day, in this "Narniaesque" tale, they stumble upn an incredible, fantastic, secret passage. What will the two adventurers discover?In "The Secret Passage" author Brigitte Stotzka tells a tale that is full of al things wondrous: the credulity of children, mystical, magical, and fantastical. This is the kind of stuff a child can immerse himself/herself in, and linger on for hours, charmed by the world that is accessible through the secret passage of reading this book. Not only children, but the young adult and the adult and the grandparent will each find something to love about this book, each in their own way. After all, this is magic, and no one is immune to this. In my case, as I read this book, I was once again, dipped in the magical waters of fantasy. In the imagination, I travel, on a journey through a secret passage...So join Michelle and Andrew on their summer adventures, as they discover the Secret Passage. Come along on the journey. You are sure to enjoy yourself, as I have. This book is highly recommended for "children" of all ages, from 8 to 80!Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofStory Tellers: In Pursuit of Happiness
