It is a fast paced, page turning, time-travel adventure that teaches great lessons about choice and consequence. It also teaches that you can do hard things, and to value history. When we got the second book my daughter took it to her room and read it in two days!! And has read it 3 times since! We have loved reading or listening to them as a family!
Cragbridge Hall, Book 1: The Inventor’s Secret
Here is a little excerpt about the first book….
Imagine a school in the year 2074 where students don’t read history, but watch it happen around them; where running in gym class isn’t around a track, but up a virtual mountain; and where learning about animals means becoming one through an avatar. Welcome to Cragbridge Hall, the most advanced and prestigious school in the world.
Twins Abby and Derick Cragbridge are excited as new students to use their famed grandfather’s inventions that make Cragbridge Hall so incredible. But when their grandfather and parents go missing, the twins must follow a mysterious trail of clues left by their grandfather. They must find out where their family is, learn who they can trust, and discover what secrets are hidden within Cragbridge Hall.
Abby and Derick soon realize they are caught in a race with a fierce adversary to discover their grandfather’s greatest secret — a dangerous discovery that could alter both history and reality.
Book two continues their adventure…
Cragbridge Hall, Book 2: The Avatar Battle
Chad Morris grew up wanting to become a professional basketball player or a rock star. Neither of those plans quite panned out. While going to college, he wrote and performed sketch comedy and eventually became a teacher and a curriculum writer. He lives in Utah with his wife and five kids.
This book is about a 10 and older reading level. If you are using them for a read aloud for your whole family, let me warn you they can get a little intense and maybe a bit scary, but my6 and 8 year old boys love them also! We all do! Book like these make me wish they had a movie made! Hmmm Maybe I will tell Deseret Book!
Happy Reading!
