In The Master's Book, Philip Coleman has created quite the sleuthing team in Sean and Stephanie. Sean has somewhat reluctantly made the move with his family from Ireland to Brussels. He lucks out when he meets Stephanie on the first day at his new school. She's smart, sassy, and pretty...but they're just friends! When the pair discovers an old book hidden in Sean's house--where a murder ended the last resident's stay--and it gets stolen, they find their own lives might be in danger.Even when Sean and Stephanie are deep in historical research searching for clues, the story's tension is still high. The crafty and clever pair make such a dynamic team. Their budding friendship was fun to watch develop, with just a hint of romance. And the action scenes really knocked my socks off, making my heart pound in my chest. An exciting read for anyone who loves mysteries, international intrigue, history, or young adult.
