Eefa and her twin brother, Magio, are on the run, hunted by a ruthless predator with a pack of terrifying wolf hounds. They have no idea why this is happening to them. Until recently they enjoyed a carefree life in the ramshackle town of Warren on the semi-tropical isle of Moon. Since birth Eefa has been invisible to everybody other than Magio, an invitation, as Magio sees it, to adventure, inspired by the tall tales of their lodger, Quimbre. But now the sudden death of their beloved Gran has turned their world upside down. Out of the blue, terrifying giants attempt to kidnap Eefa, who is only rescued by the intervention of a stranger, scorned by the townsfolk as an eccentric known as Bird Woman. And now this same stranger insists that Eefa and Magio are no longer safe. They must abandon their childhood home and flee to the Valley of the Raptors, high in the snow-capped mountain peaks of Moon. Here, Bird Woman promises, Eefa will discover the reason for her invisibility. While running, Magio has recurrent dreams about an old woman shackled to a monstrous beach of bones.
What magic will they discover in the Valley of the Raptors? Is Bird Woman is telling them the truth? Will Eefa discover the secret of her invisibility? Will they find sanctuary from the malevolent forces that are closing in about them?
The Twins of Moon by Frank P Ryan is a tale of an epic adventure between Magio and Eefa to discover new things about themselves.
Will Eefa ever be visible in her life?
The Twins
The twins, Magio and Eefa, have been through a lot in their young lives. One major thing is that no one believes that there are two of them. They can only see Magio and think that he has an imaginary friend that he calls his twin sister. That is until one day when their lives turned topsy-turvy and have to figure out why this is. Magio is more of the adventurer of the two, while Eefa doesn’t want anything bad to happen to them. Well, even worse than what has already happened to them.
What I like about them is that no matter what, Magio has always been into trying to protect his sister even if no one has believed him. Another thing that I like is that Eefa is still able to keep Magio happy and from thinking too hard about their parents. The one thing that I disliked is the fact that we never truly know the ages of the twins. I’m picturing them between the ages of ten to twelve years old, though.
The Adventure
The twins go on with two people that they think can help them when a race of people that were here first detected Eefa and wanted her. After that, everything started moving fast for them. I got lost quite a few times with this, especially after some parts that I won’t say and spoil it for you. I’m just saying pay close attention when reading this book. The adventure is pretty cool and especially as they discover why Eefa is the way she is.
Three Stars
The Twins of Moon by Frank P Ryan was definitely different than what I thought it was going to be. The twins had a lot of difficult things to overcome on their quest to find out why Eefa is the way she is. I am giving this book three stars rating.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Twins of Moon by Frank P Ryan.
