Good morning, how are you? This morning I wanted to share a new book the Author Stephen Steel was kind enough to send to Charlie. The new book is called The Trouble With Miracles and no, we weren’t asked to conduct a review but after we finished the novel we couldn’t help but take the time to share The Trouble With Miracles with everyone we know.
When Homeschooling our children we have to tackle things that we aren’t familiar with or don’t like. Which is what I’ve had to do in Charlie’s Homeschool Reading class because I want Charlie to read all types of books. So I went out on a limb and decided I would read The Trouble With Miracles which is a Sci-Fi book.
As I opened the book and began to read the story I found out the story is full of adventure and history featuring a adventure t hat takes us treasure hunting. Ancient civilizations are mentioned in the story which lead to more studies in our Homeschool History Class. There is 3 books in this series and yes, before you ask I do plan on reading all three of the books.
As for Charlie he did sit down to read the book and became drawn into the two different adventures that ended up merging into one. Charlie and David said this made the book feel like a futuristic sci fi kind of novel. What surprised me was when Charlie read the book to David at night and once, they finished the story they asked me if there were more books by the Author they could read. Which showed me they enjoyed the story just as much as I did.
About the book:
The ancient secret of fusion energy is rediscovered in a breathless thriller about the magic and mystery of the Easter Island statues.
Cyd and Alex return to Montana to settle down and lead a quiet life. Robert, a close friend working in Chile, turns up missing after recent Earthquakes trigger strange lights coming from a Volcano. Robert’s father persuades Cyd and Alex to go looking for him.
A harrowing adventure follows that uncovers a civilization of ancient aliens who possessed the secret to fusion energy, the same energy that powers the Sun. An object is found in a lost City that explains the technology, but it is unreadable.
The Chinese, mining lithium for electric car batteries in Chile’s Northern desert, learn that one of their geologists, Robert, has discovered an object that explains how fusion energy works, and how to recreate it here on earth.
Meanwhile, Bahamian treasure hunters Sam Sorini and Nikki Perez recover a journal from a sunken 18th Century Spanish galleon that reveals there is something hidden on an island off Chile’s coast that can translate the alien object.
Desperate to get their hands on technology they can use to rule the world, the Chinese pursue Cyd, Alex, Sam and Nikki to Easter Island where the secrets of the past could save the future or destroy it. Filled with page-turning suspense, The Trouble with Miracles is an adventure thriller about the magic and mystery of the Easter Island Statues.
