Good morning, I waned to share a new children’s book for High Schoolers with you. The book is called Ming & Leopold A City In The Sky by Arlene Klasky. I received a copy of this book for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase.
Charlie and David have always been fascinated with Witches and the Super-Natural which is why I wanted to read Ming & Leopold A City In The Sky . The story is about two young witches that aren’t much older than Charlie and his friends. Charlie liked finding out Leopold was from Russia a City we had studied in our Homeschool Classes.
The book is sad at times because we find out Leopold was a Orphan at 12 whose Aunt and Uncle sent him away to be a Solider. Can you imagine doing that to a child? Leopold is in love with Ming and Charlie said if you can get past the mushy stuff Ming & Leopold A City In The Sky a book both adults and high-schoolers will enjoy.
There is suspense and drama in the story which will keep you on the edge of your seat at all times. David likes the aspect of bad witches and good witches takes place. We touched on PTSD in the book which we all need to learn more about because more and more people are being diagnosed with PTSD. Join us as the world is on the brink of an Electrical Energy Apocalypse.
About the book:
The year is 2299, and Ming and Leopold are Good Witches. Though they appear to be eighteen and twenty-one, they have lived a millennium. Leopold, born in Russia, became an orphan at age twelve. His cruel aunt and uncle sent him away as a child to be a soldier in the Russian army.
He and Ming are in love, but Leopold’s PTSD from war strains their relationship. The couple arrive in NYC after leaving the jungles of Brazil.
A war between Good Witches and Dark Witches ensues. Zoltan Janka, leader of The Dark Witch Nation, plans to control all Electrical Energy Plants in NYC and beyond. Janka’s objective: to rule Planet Earth and subjugate humans by denying them electricity. The world is on the brink of an Electrical Energy Apocalypse. Discover a tale of love, sacrifice, and hope in this electrifying adventure from Arlene Klasky, one of the creators of Rugrats.
