The Secret of White Stone Gate

The Secret of White Stone Gate was a very intriguing mystery. It’s the sequel to The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane.

The main character, Emmy, goes to a boarding school in England. She and her friends found medallions that are keys to a secret ruin deep under the school. An evil secret society, the Order of Black Hollow Lane, thinks the medallions have been destroyed, so it’s up to Emmy to keep it that way. Her father, who she thought was dead, is instead working against the Order, but he still never talks to Emmy or even visits her, because he thinks it’s too dangerous. On top of all this stress, the Order thinks she knows the location of her father and so threatens Emmy´s best friend, Lola.

Emmy responds to the threat in a way that seems very realistic. She doesn’t just throw herself into dangerous situations, as some action heroes are prone to do. In fact, it takes her the entire book to get over her fear of the Order and save her friend. This book was very entertaining and realistic.
