Knowing jack by Julie Elizabeth PowellThis was a delight to read, Knowing Jack and his adventures with his little cousin in the woods running from the bad people. His insight and supernatural gift was entertaining. The conflicts and twists were suspenseful. The O's and Ah's kept the story flowing. It was refreshing and the adventure with the chills and hot chocolate, in all it was a cozy read to relax with after shovelling snow. Knowing Jack title fits. Jack was a very insightful and a gifted young man who experienced strange sensations of physical ailments and other symptoms  when trouble was lurking around the corner.  The family decided to go on a brief vacation and the adventures start.The plot open with an incidental or accident van almost swiping their travelling car, and he senses the accident before it occurs and was able to alert his dad not to pull out.  Later it was intentional, and Jack sensed high alert of danger and has the responsibility of his little cousin, who he does not like. But as they escape and stay ahead of the bad guys, they cooperate together to survive in the frozen forest, seeking assistance. Together they met many challenges and overcame each one.There is a touching hint of the supernatural in this story and that was a definite plus to wrap up this story. This tale was written with such intensity and suspense of entertainment all in one little book.  Once again this author has the uncanny ability to touch a reader's core and sent chills and pleasure to their brain cells. Hot chocolate and this book was a delightful reprieve from Mr. Snow and shovelling, and this reader highly recommend it as well as her other books available at Amazon.com and Lulu.com
