The Marsburg Diary by Chris White is a mysterious and suspenseful novella that is an addition to the Airel series.After his father's death, Harvey Marsburg discovers a letter from his father with a code, and then he finds a small locked chest. It doesn't take him long to figure out that this is a combination, and he finds that it contains three books. One is some sort of ancient book, one is written in German, and the other is his father's diary. He begins reading his father's diary and his whole world is turned upside down. He learns disturbing things about his father, and strange things begin happening to him as well.I VERY highly recommend this book! If you haven't read Airel, then you really need to! I don't read a great deal of YA, but Airel is a fabulous book for all ages. The Marsburg Diary is an addition to the series that comes from a sub-story included in Airel that tells just a small piece of William Marsburg's story. This book will answer a few questions about that, and then leave you with even more. It's mysterious and suspenseful and filled with twists and surprises. The writing is superb and I will be anxiously awaiting the next installment in the diary books and the Airel series. Coming soon will be The Wagner Diary coming in 2012 and the sequel to Airel called Michael.
