Can Jax Stay in Control of His Mind?
The Inquisitor’s Mark
by Dianne Salerni is the second book in the Eighth Day series. It picks up
where the last book left off, and Jax, Riley, and Evangeline are in hiding
after all the excitement they were a part of in Mexico. Jax and Riley are
Transitioners, a special group of people who experience an extra day between
Tuesday and Wednesday. Evangeline is
also special and only lives on the eighth day, but it helps her stay in hiding
as she is a descendent of Merlin and people are after her because her power can
make them more powerful. The trouble in Mexico has brought the trio into the
spotlight and now more people know Evangeline exists. Jax's family also
realizes he's alive and wants to claim him for their own. Family is something Jax has wanted ever since he was sent to live with Riley. Unfortunately, his best friend, Billy, gets kidnapped by Finn Ambrose, Jax’s newfound uncle. He
takes off without telling anyone where he's going because he feels it is up to
him to save his friend. In the process, Jax meets his grandparents, aunts,
uncles, and cousins. It doesn’t take him long to realize how dangerous his
family line is. They have skills that can do a lot of harm! Mind control is not
something to mess with and his family doesn’t agree. It doesn’t help that Evangeline’s
sister is missing and now danger surrounds the eighth day and many lives are in
jeopardy. Who should Jax trust? Should he have told someone where he was
going? Is Evangeline’s sister hidden and will they be able to find her? You
won't stop reading until you find the answer to these questions and more!
As soon as I put
down The Eighth Day I knew I needed
to get my hands on The Inquisitor’s Mark
and start reading. I already loved the idea of the eighth day and hoped this
book would show me even more of this unique world. It didn’t disappoint! The
world that exists for the Transitioners and those who only exist on the eighth
day is even more complicated than I could have guessed. Jax’s family was filled
with people who had strange and dangerous skills. I wouldn’t want anyone trying
to control my mind. It's creepy to think about! I kept trying to figure out
what Jax should do and who he should trust, but it wasn't easy for me and it's
not easy for him. It made me think about how lucky we are if we have friends
and family that we know we can count on. I recommend this book to kids in fifth
grade and up who like dystopian books and enjoy adventure. What a fabulous
story and the author does an awesome job world building. Now I just need to get
my hands on the third book in the series, The
Morigan’s Curse!
Has anyone else
read The Inquisitors Mark? Or have
you read another book by Dianne Salerni? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Happy Reading!

Answer to Monday's Riddle: A Brain Bath
Excellent guessing, Riddlers! This week, we'll clear your mind. Friday, find out how Lizzy's review ties in. See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F
A thought bath helps you see what you can do for me. Step into my ready tub, water's right for a scrub. A yellow duck to splash and sink, no need to fret or overthink. Watch the bubbles rise and pop, don't worry if the soap should drop. Once the cleansing's underway, your mind is mine, so they say. I'll tug the strings and you'll obey, all else washed away.
What am I referring to? Answer: Brainwashing

Will's Words by Jane Sutcliffe is such a cool book. Not only is
it interesting to find out how many terms William Shakespeare came up
with, BUT the added bonus of locating him in every magnificent
illustration is extremely entertaining. Watch out, Waldo!Read Fairday's full review, plus catch our Author Interview with Jane Sutcliffe to find out the story behind the story.
