A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: A.M. Donovan
Secrets of the Truth is a well thought out and well written first novel. Its intended audience is 12 and up. It manages to avoid adult themes, which is a relief when trying to find a book to recommend for a pre to early teen. It deals with realistic early teen reactions and realistic issues, while not just fantasy issues. I recommend this for people that liked Eregon and Harry Potter type books.
