Title: A King’s Ransom

Author: Jude Watson.

Main Characters: Amy, Dan, Nellie, Ian, McIntyre, Natalie, Aliaster Oh, Hamilton, Jonah, The Holts, Vesper One, Casper, Cheyenne, Evan, Atticus, Jake, Erasmus.

Description of one of the main characters:

McIntyre is lawyer. He was the layer and friend of Grace Cahill. He is kind and helps Amy and Dan in saving the Cahill members from the Vespers. In the last, he dies as someone strikes him with a poisonous needle.

Whom I like and why: I like Evan as he helps Amy and Dan when Casper and Cheyenne lack Amy and Dan in a room and reduce the oxygen level slowly to 4%. Evan saves them by unlocking the room at the right time.

Whom I dislike and why: I dislike Casper and Cheyenne as they always try to kill Amy and Dan. They are selfinsh and cunning. They are Vespers. They want to get a good name from Vesper one.

Setting/theme of the story: Amy and Dan try to steal a map for the Vespers, who threaten to kill the seven members of the Cahill family taken as hostages. No one has seen the map for half a century! They find the map with the help of Atticus and Jake. But Casper and Cheyenne kidnap Atticus. Now Amy and Dan have to follow the Nazis and go to mad King’s castle.

Part I enjoyed the most: I enjoyed the part when Amy and Dan escape from the auction room, where the map was first found before 50 years.
