This is a delightful book with an important message for young readers who are having trouble focusing or who are anxious. The illustrations make this book super special--they are truly magnificent!

Into Dust, by B.J. Daniels

B.J. Daniels has a unique gift. She weaves plots within plots within plots effortlessly. If this was any other author but Daniels, the layer upon layer of plots and characters would exhaust any reader trying to keep names, dates and subplots straight. Daniels, however, has the magic touch. Not only are her books not confusing, they are addictive for readers who love meaty plots with tons of intrigue--like me.

In her latest book, "Into Dust," Daniels centers her story around Cassidy Hamilton, the youngest daughter of Buckmaster and Sarah Hamilton. In earlier books, we learned that Buckmaster was running for president and that Sarah had suddenly reappeared, without her memory, 22 years after her disappearance and supposed death.

Cassidy has been lured to Houston by several new acquaintances. While walking to meet them, she is accosted. Jack Durand stops her assailant from abducting her. Jack, a rancher, had been following one of his father's employees after he saw his father, Tom Durand, hand that employee a large envelope full of cash. Together, Jack and Cassidy must figure out why his dad wants her kidnapped, or dead, and where Cassidy's mother has been for 22 years......

Are you hooked yet? If not, you will be if you read just a few pages of this book. It's a great summer read!
