Emily Kane is a girl with a difference.  By the end of this book, boys will admire Emily and girls will want to be her.  She's very special indeed, and what makes her so are not only her exceptional physical skills in martial arts, which she uses to great effect, but her determination to do what is right no matter what.  Emily is truthful, perceptive and considerate - a rare combination in someone of her age and this makes her a delightful character.  Emily's moral compass never lets her down, even when she's in great danger.The way this story is written, emphasising positives rather than negatives, and with good overcoming evil, is classic YA material.  It will appeal greatly to YAs and encourage strong moral development as well as entertaining them with a plot packed with danger and intrigue balanced with the importance of friendship and loyalty.  I would love to read more books in the Emily Kane series.
