Ransom



                                                   Hello my name is Amanda Kletzel and I would like to welcome you to Ask's world of BOOKS, where we will be exploring, YOU Guessed it BOOKS. I decided to choose the book RANSOM by the author Julie Garwood as the first book to blog because Ransom is one of my FAVORITE books and Julie Garwood is an amazing author of bringing the scene and story to life. You can just picture being right beside the main character and seeing what she is seeing,
     I chose this book because it is action from the first chapter all the way through to the end. I know because I have read it a minimum of FOUR times and every time I start this book I have a HARD time putting it down. This book is the continuation from her first book THE SECRET, which is also an amazing can't put down book. Julie Garwood early books take place in   history. They are fiction with a hint of nonfiction because she usually has or talks about a character from real life.

      This is one of the reasons why I like her books.I like reading and learning about history, where we came from. What happened in our world to bring us to were we are today. Garwood makes you wonder what it would be like to have lived back in the 12th century.
        It has only been from 2000 onward that she has started to write novels that deal with problems that we can see happening  in our time. Her current books use the descendents from characters from  past novels and place them in our current century.
