A character and story all kids and adults will love July 6, 2006
Mark Barnes (South Euclid, OH)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
In his first novel, Paul Kijinski creates a wonderful protagonist, fast-paced plot and realistic conflicts, with which young people can empathize.
Jake Tanski is a troubled genius teenager, who gets the uninlisted help of his militant, yet caring, grandfather and a surprisingly sassy new acquaintance.
Readers will quickly warm to Jake, and his grandfather (a marvelously-crafted ancillary character), while learning valuable lessons about relationships, change in surroundings and the struggles of a nation at war with terror.
Camp Limestone is sure to become a treasure for young readers, who will doubtless want more of the brilliant and self-deprecating Jake Tanski. And anyone reading this captivating novel will certainly want more from Paul Kijinski, a new star in young adult literature.
