Summary: Annison's Risk
Review: "Alright", I thought. "Another book came". To me,these are one af the best books in a series, besides Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia. I first discovered these Passages books by Paul McCusker by having my mom mail in for them, after seeing them on an advertisement sheet. I wanted to check these books out because I was totally into a whole different series written by the same author. The Passages books in particular deal with children who get transported to another world called Marcs. There they have adventures similar to ones in the Bible. Also all these stories were manuscripts discovered by two men who believe that there is a connection, but don't know if they believe they are true or not.
In Annison's risk, my favorite is when Lord Hector, stephen, and Terrence try to assassinate King Willem. They were stopped because of Maddy. She heard their plan and told simet who told Princess Annison who told the king. They planned to poison his cup, but Lord Hector betrayed his comrads by stopping the king and arresting them. Annison did not tell the king about Lord Hector being a part of the scheme because he was the king's most trusted person.
This is a story of Maddy who is taken to another world. She has to help Annison in order to stop Hector from killing everyone who believes in the old faith. Will she succeed or be killed. Find out in this amazing story.

Summary: A great new look at the Biblical story of Esther
Review: If you've read any of the Passages books, you know there's nothing more to be said. This one follows the story of young Maddy as she finally discovers the "magic" world she's always imagined. Only it's not Prince Charming and a beautiful princess to rescue...it's a Queen marrying a foreign king. Maddy manages to bungle her way to the palace though, and though she can't help Queen Annison meet her knight, she can help her by serving as her message-bearer between her and her secret adopted father Simet, who also serves in the palace.

When Lord Hector begins to show his hand as the cruel man that he is, Maddy, Annison, and Simet must work against the clock to save their people from extermination.

The book is excellent. Billed as a kids' book, it operates just as well for an adult reader who has an interest in this kind of thing. It's one of those books that talks about other worlds, a topic that probably interests all of us to some extent.

Really great book...the only piece of advice I'd give is to read the first ones first!

Summary: Annison's Risk
Review: This is the story of two men named Jack and Whit who discover manuscripts about people who went to another world. This is the third manuscript they find. They aren't sure whether they think they are true or not. All of them so far were gripping stories. This one is about a girl named Madina Nicholaivitch who had a wild imagination. One day she was playing tag and decided to hide under her porch. Thats when she went to a whole different world in a different time. In this place the king has decided to marry a Marutian girl named Annison. Now the king was a Palation who conquered the land of Marus. Annison, the captain of the guards(Simet) , and many others were believers in the "Old Faith". That meant that they believed in one God. The king's second in command(Lord Hector) wanted all of those believers to die. Madina was able to help Queen Annison and Simet in winning, but Hector influenced the king.
I read this book because I really enjoy this author's works. This is the second series that I have started to read by Paul McCusker. All of his ideas are interesting and vivid. Whenever I read his books I feel as if I am there witnessing everything that goes on in his books. I also like his books because they teach moral lessons, plus they relate to the Bible or have similar stories. He also helps make the Adventure in Odyssey tapes which I love to hear.
My favorite part in this book is when Lord Hector gets caught. King Willem becomes smarter at the end of the story, and is able to realize that Hector was the traitor. By Annison's bravery in influencing the king of what has really happend in his kingdom, her people were saved from the hatred and treason of Lord Hector. Madina also helped to testify to the king about Hector's plot. When the king accused him of exactly what he did, he ran for the doors, but were stopped by soldiers. This was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone.
