Book Review of The First Escape (The Dopple Ganger Chronicles)

The First Escape (The Dopple Ganger Chronicles)


Twins Sadie and Saskia live at Isambard Dunstan's School for Wayward Children, along with their friend Erik. The twins cause trouble until one is adopted. The other twin and Erik miss her and escape to find her.

I thought the storyline was dark. Most of the adults are pictured as evil and the children are troublemakers. There is a murder plot as well that the children must solve. I would not want my daughter to read this book due to the storyline and the absence of God in the story. I did not enjoy the half novel/ half comic strip format either though the drawings were good.
