Percy St. John and the Chronicle of Secrets: Illustrated Edition

Description

The Adventures of Percy St. John- now in a Deluxe Illustrated Edition!

An unbreakable cipher, a dead priest with expensive shoes, a hermit who has conversations with saints, an angry French girl, a guardian angel with attitude, a murderous master criminal, and a gaggle of angry demons might stop an ordinary fifteen-year-old safe-cracking genius, but not Percy St.-John. He’s out to prove he did not steal a mysterious ancient book that may hold the key to mankind’s greatest hope and greatest danger.

“Allen marries the character relationship of a young Holmes and Watson with a setting reminiscent of Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose, resulting in a delicious change of pace for YA readers. Especially effective is the rich atmosphere evoking the early 1900s as a time when superstition was giving way to a more rational age. Literary thrillers are rare in the YA space, and this charming page-turner is a welcome addition to the scene.” —Reinhardt Suarez, Booklist

“Percy St.-John and the Chronicle of Secrets: Thieves and Monks, Angels and Demons, makes for a Fun YA Novel.” —Dustin Bass, The Epoch Times
