The Postcard
A Mystery Within A Mystery

by Tony Abbott



      Jason is looking forward to an uneventful summer at home until his mother decides he’s going to help his father clean up the home of his grandmother, who has recently died. Having never met his grandmother, Jason isn’t particularly interested in having anything to do with her now, but his mom sends him down to Florida to meet up with his dad and take care of everything.

Shortly after Jason arrives, he discovers there’s a lot more to his grandmother than he ever imagined and that there’s a mysterious and potentially dangerous adventure waiting for him if he chooses to find out more about her life.

This book is the ultimate page-turner.  With compelling elements of mystery, suspense, romance and wonderfully bizarre characters, this book is a fantastic read for children and adults alike.  The action is non-stop and unlike anything you’ve read before.  Even the romance is not what you’d expect; but every page is satisfying and fun.  By the end, readers will have a new appreciation for family history and will feel like they’ve been on a great adventure with Jason and his new friends.  A healthy dose of reality mixed in with the fast paced fantasy makes this story unique and unforgettable.  I loved it and look forward to sharing it with my friends.
