My Review
The Blue Velvet is an exciting tale that takes readers on a thrilling adventure back in time to a mysterious home with secret passageways, a one eared stranger, and a startling kidnapping.
While being forced to clean the attic as punishment, Emerson discovers an old trunk. As Emerson examines the trunk's contents she begins to feel lightheaded and passes out. When she awakens she finds she's no longer in the attic and suddenly people are referring to her as Emma. Emerson thinks it's all just a bad dream, but is it?
The Blue Velvet is an imaginative, well-penned story that shifts seamlessly between the 1800's and present day. Readers are pulled into the past right along with the main character and the interesting events that unfold as a result are captivating. An excellent story for middle grade readers.
I highly recommend picking up a copy. Available on Amazon.
