The Secrets of Arkaim (The Reeds of West Hills) by B. E. Padgett – Review by

The Secrets of Arkaim by B.E. Padgett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is book 2 in the Reeds of West Hills series. This is a great middle grade series, and I have been really enjoying the creativity, suspense, and world building that is going into it. This series is about 11 –year-old gifted twins, Jon and Frank Reed, are set to return to West Hills School for the Perceptually Gifted for the second year (though their first full year). The boys have missed their school, and their friends even though they were able to spend some time with Mira over the summer at a conference for the perceptually gifted and their families. The boys are also excited when they learn that the school is set to hold their Zodiac Games, a competition that occurs every 3 years. The competition is between the houses to see which house is the best. What nobody expects is the darker, more sinister game that someone else on campus is playing, and trying to manipulate Jon and Frank into being a part of. This gets especially dangerous when all of the telepathy students start coming down with an unknown illness, and Frank worries that he may be next, all while Jon deals with a dark and shadowy figure in his dreams that seems to be determined to get something from him.
