I admit it.  Wagner has turned me out. I finished reading this book on the 4th of July and that’s the truth.  There were festivities going on all around me but I was caught up in this book.Part of the reason why I like Wagner’s book (and I have read them all) is because I’m hooked on Hiro and Oily.  They are two youngsters who took on the challenge for reasons that are different from the others and I admire them for it.There is great pacing in this latest story.  One minute Oily is wielding a knife fighting off some strange creature, the next minute she is talking to a little girl who may or may not exist,  and the next minute she is having a sweet moment with Hiro who thinks of her as his Big Sis.  And although she plays tough she cares for Hiro and they protect each other.I’m loving this series but I’ll be glad when my favorite little heroes are safe once and for all. I feel like the Kathy Bates character in that movie Misery.  I don’t know what I’ll  do if anything happens to the duo.Prior to reading Wagner’s books, I wasn't into this type of story sci-fi madness, but the real characters and story line have made me a fan.
