A book review by Tim
Imagine being a slave, only living to do your masters bidding.
Fabrizio is that person. He serves his master, Mangus, The
Magician.
In 1491, Fabrizio was playing with a pack of Tarot cards. Tarot
cards are cards that can predict your master’s future. On
the stroke of midnight, Fabrizio turned over 9 cards in this
specific order: THE MAGICIAN, THE SERVANT, THE CASTELLO (Which
means castle in Portuguese.), THE KING, THE GHOST, THE PRINCESS,
THE TUTOR, THE QUEEN, and then the last card was DEATH! You’ll
figure out what the cards mean if you read this book!
Soon Fabrizio and his master find themselves in front of the king
of Pergamontio, who is fearing that his daughter has been seeing
a ghost. Is it true?
Avi made this book a major page turner. One of the examples was
the amount of excitement. It was very thrilling when Fabrizio
learns who the ghost really is...
Another example is the suspense. If Fabrizio and his master say
the ghost is real, then they die. If they say the ghost is fake,
worse evil will come then.
The mystery definitely keeps you mystified. If not, why would
Fabrizio get sent to the dungeon for no reason at all?
Last, but not least,the book contains a shocking amount of
intelligence. For example,when Fabrizio uses the power of
reflection for a life saving cause, he makes light bounce off a
mirror so it appears like a ghost.
Is the ghost real? It takes friends like Princess Teresina and a
kitchen boy Rinaldo, and even enemies like Count Scarazoni to
find out!
If you read this book you will agree that the circumstances lead
to a very good experienced book!
