Summary:
Spencer has been forced to volunteer at a retirement center. He reluctantly goes along with it, but doesn't like it until Ed hands over this strange book, Pandora's Book, and asks Spencer to become the guard of that book. Spencer and his friend Gregor find out that Pandora's Book full of pictures of positive famous dead people allows the guard to bring people back to life. After they figure out that they can bring people back, Spencer needs more information from Ed, specifically, how to put them back in. Unfortunately, Ed has disappeared. When people start showing up, Spencer and Gregor have to figure out who they should trust and how to keep the book safe.
My thoughts:
I enjoyed this adventure. My favorite is that the heroes within this novel are both children with special needs. Spencer is going blind, which makes him wonder why he's guardian of a book that he may not be able to read soon. Gregor has autism, so he also has some issues as they go through the book. Even with these disabilities, the two are brave and take risks and learn to trust/rely on one another. I really appreciated the depth the friendship was examined and the two characters were developed. On top of that, the mystery is enjoyable and the action keeps the story moving.
