The Dragon Lantern by Alan Gratz

4.0

This is such a fun series! The book caught me off guard in so many places. With a book centered around young characters, it is easy to feel that the journey will be a lighthearted romp or low risk. However, this book it packed with emotional depth and unbelievable consequences. The story of Archie is brutal and no one makes it out unscathed. With a wonderful blend of alternate history and steampunk, this will be a series I will cherish for some time to come. It is a must own for any junior high/elementary collection.
