Book Review: Third Times the Charm by Robert Howell (Dramsmit Childrens Mysteries Book 1)


     Sharron, Wally, and Chip are all orphans to different circumstances, but when their long-lost great-aunt contacts their individual housing situations to regain guardianship they quickly attach to their found family. Wally and Chip are siblings, while Sharron is their cousin. While just getting to be with actual family in a much better living circumstance is great, their futures are far from certain as they discover they are young witches. Not only this, but something or someone has been killing off the Dramsmit's. Can these three untrained witches over-power a dark foe that even the council has been unable to locate? 

    I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. It is a great young adult read that is easy to finish in just a few sittings (more it you have adult obligations). While this book is absolutely targeted towards teens any age can enjoy it. I read a few chapters to my kids (until they couldn't sit still anymore) and they enjoyed it. They are 2 and 6. 

    The story combines wiccan knowledge, Harry Potter, and the Hardy Boys along with some other random tidbits that are completely the author's own. Completely enjoyable and had you interested to know what was going to happen in book two as soon as book one was finished. I have since finished book two as I am dreadfully behind on reviews, so you should be seeing it soon. Likely, in the next few days if we're lucky. 

    While the book is primarily from Sharron's point of view, we do see how the others are doing from time to time. The culprit is a mystery until the author wants it to be revealed, although the accomplice is a bit more obvious. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
