Book Review: The Grave Robber's Apprentice

The Grave Robber's Apprentice is the newest tome from Allan Stratton.  Now, as they say down here in Texas, this is not Mr. Stratton's first rodeo, and this book does not disappoint!  In this story we follow Hans, a boy found at birth by an old graverobber.  Hans is raised to be a graverobber's apprentice, but he does not want that life.  Angela is a young countess who is trying to escape a forced marriage to an evil man.  These two must join forces to escape the evil Archduke who is hunting both of them for very different reasons.  There is adventure, mayhem, hermits, wolves, and even a traveling circus!  It is a great fantasy adventure, and one that many students will love.
