The 13th floor...

Two orphans get lost in between floors in a mysterious old building and end up in the midst of a family drama several generations in their own past. Dare they save a family member wrongly accused of witchcraft, when doing so might irrevocably alter, or eliminate, their own existence? Anyone who enjoys stories about orphans, pirates, sailing lore, time travel, historic fiction and witches will get a kick out of this salty yarn.
For me, I would give this book the rate 3/5 because I don't really this kind. Pirates, past, witches...doesn't really catchy for me :D but this book is really interesting too.

Double Eagle

Mike is spending the summer with his dad, per usual. But unlike years past, this summer the 14-year-old is not in Florida.
This year, he’s on an Alabama island, where his dad is teaching at a marine lab. Mike’s not too excited about the change at first, but it’s not long before he and his new friend are exploring an old Civil War fort. They uncover more than they bargained for, though, and when a hurricane bears down on Shipwreck Island, tension mounts.

My opinion:
Mike and Kyle are nicely drawn characters. I love the book’s historical and scientific aspects. I don’t often find the sciences portrayed in a fun yet accessible way. 
Double Eagle is not a wave-making book, but it is definitely a fun read. A great adventure story set in a well-drawn Southern setting against a great back Civil War backdrop.
