a twin Mask that only Leo can lead him too. Helping his uncle is the only way
for Leo to get money to find out what really happened to his parents. Soon Leo
chooses to travel to Borneo to help his uncle. Will Leo abandon his morals?
A great adventure, this book
provides many discussion point for classes. Although the plot is implausible
and the characters are hard to keep track of, readers who like adventure,
science fiction, and adventure will enjoy reading this book. MS- ADVISABLE.
