In this brilliantly written saga Jerry Beller proves himself to be a master of his craft.  The story line captivates the reader from page one with a promise of excitement, suspense and never ending adventure.  The incredible journey of Alfred Wellers will transport you back in time and capture your imagination as well as your heart.  I found this author to have the uncanny ability to seamlessly weave this unforgettable voyage together beautifully with exciting historical events which seemed to breathe life into each and every page.  The details and descriptions were so vivid and clear that it easily captivates all your senses.  I got lost within this book quite easily.It also amazed me the depth of the characters and how emotionally gripping they were from the start.  As we follow the adventurous, young Alfred in his wide-eyed wonder on this inspiring journey we witness his strengths, his weaknesses, his excitement and disappointments as we watch him mature into a well-developed young man before our very eyes.The suspenseful air that surrounds this entire tale certainly has the ability keep the reader's attention and curiosity at its peak; keeping the pages turning in anticipation right up until the very end!  I loved it!  I found it to be not only entertaining and exciting but, also a heartfelt and unforgettable journey that will stay with you long after the last page ends.  It has many twists and turns throughout that will keep you guessing and a lot of surprises that keep you on your toes.  It displays so many elements within this one book that make it a must have for anyone who loves tales of adventure.I would highly recommend it for adults as well as school age kids.  After I read it, I decided to read a chapter or so from it each night as a bedtime story for my daughter and she loves it!  I will be patiently awaiting book two because I am excited to see just where it will lead our young hero next! Two Thumbs up!
