Boone
and Jacque: Saddleton's Secret by AG Flitcher is
the first entry in a series that presents two interesting characters, Boone and
Jacque. When Boone and Jacque fall into a mysterious bunker in the ten-year-old
Boone’s backyard, they unveil secrets that were never supposed to see the light
of day, and the city on which they live hinges above these secrets. They are
plunged into a world filled with tension, secret societies, and powerful old
enemies. The chaos that has once threatened to destroy Saddleton resurfaces and
the two characters face a world of violence that they could never have imagined
and a deadly rivalry between two loyal brothers. But what is the link between
the secret history of Saddleton and the current predicament of its inhabitants?
This is a cunningly plotted tale with
unforgettable characters. The teens are adventurous and mischievous. They both live
painful situations at home. Boone’s father is an alcoholic and he has the
tendency to beat him and his Mom. Jacque is a foster child and Boone’s
neighbor. AG Flitcher creates backdrops that absorb the characters and
environmental elements that shape the way they behave. And while these
characters are teenagers, the narrative is aptly written for older folk and
readers who are into mystery and intriguing narratives. While there is a
rawness in language and violence that does not reflect the world of children,
the author successfully depicts the influence that family dynamics and society
can have on children. Boone and Jacque:
Saddleton's Secret is brimming with mystery and suspense, a narrative that
engages readers from the first page and keeps them guessing until the last
exhilarating page. It is nuanced, deft, and balanced, with characters that are
fully drawn and conflict that grows in proportions as one reads from page to
page. You’ll enjoy the grim humor, stick with the memorable characters, and
wonder about the destiny of a small town.
