Review of Fyrelocke
“Fyrelocke: Jack Boomershine and the Prophecy Untold” is a
delightfully action-packed, uproarious adventure/fantasy with little or no
suspension of disbelief necessary, as potential disbelief is checked at the
door. Twelve-year-old inventor/electronics genius Jack and his finance-oriented
best friend Chase find themselves mysteriously transported, after a series of
text messages on his cell phone guide Jack to recover an amethyst geode, which
is definitely a “fyrestone” and may be the inimitable “Fyrelocke.” Due to the
magics surrounding this stone, Jack and Chase are transported to England, but
it’s certainly not the England tourists usually view.
With smooth writing, good characterization, and a pace
faster than any video game, “Fyrelocke” is sure to delight readers from
middle-grade on up (even oldsters like this reviewer) and its fans will be
hankering for further adventures of Jack, the boy who is nearly too smart for
his own good.
