Review

Action packed sequel to "Vango: Between Sky and Earth", where Vango continues to solve the mystery of his identity during this WWII era historical mystery with a touch of romance. Vango has spent a good part of his life on the run being chased by his past without knowing what his past is about. This needs to end, but in order for it to do so he needs to protect those who have protected him for so long.

Even though this is book number two in the series, it can be a stand alone and still enjoy the thickening plot without needing the first book. Well written with a quick pace, teens and adults will have a hard time putting this down, because you desperately want to know Vango's true identity. Those who are fans of Kenneth Oppel' books, Gregory Maguire's "Egg and Spoon" along with Yann Martel's "Life of Pi" will thoroughly enjoy this series. True adventure to the core!

Overall Book Score: excellent
