A
young boy named Rufkin (the son of two rich actors) is left with an elderly
couple due to his stage fright while his parents and his older brother and
sister go on a six-week world tour. But while away from his parents odd things
start to happen.
Those extremely odd things lead Rufkin on an adventure out at
sea with two companions Vosco and Nilly.
Rufkin
and his friends know that the weird happenings will lead to certain danger, but
what danger exactly? Read this delightfully thrilling book to find out what
dangers Rufkin runs into.
I
love this book not only because it has a few characters from another book
Barbara Else has written called The Queen
and The Nobody Boy but also because this book is about magic, weird
mechanics and a lot of odd things that we do not have here on earth yet.
I
also like how Barbara Else seems to have visualised the future and how
mechanics will change over the years.
I
recommend this book for ages 8 -13 not because it is gory (which it is not) but
I think it will be more interesting and easier to read for children those ages.
