The Gift: A Sammy Greene Adventure (Book 1 in the Premonition series) is penned by author E C Quinn in the adventure, action, and interpersonal drama subgenres for middle-grade readers. The plot follows 12-year-old Sammy Greene as he embarks on a perilous journey fueled by a recurring dream and a mysterious gift. Plagued by nightmares of a little white dog, Sammy's quest to save the dog leads him to uncover a criminal operation run by two rookie criminals, Max and Bets. Kidnapped and faced with his greatest fear, Sammy must summon the courage to escape and thwart Max and Bets' dangerous plans, all while fulfilling his destiny.
Author E C Quinn has crafted an exhilarating story filled with suspense, danger, and a touch of magic that is sure to transport its young readership on an incredible and heartfelt journey. The author’s masterful storytelling draws readers into Sammy's world, where every twist and turn keeps you on the edge of your seat and the pacing is perfectly timed so that nothing ever gets stale or boring. Sammy's character is brilliantly crafted, evoking empathy and admiration as he confronts his fears and navigates life-threatening situations. I felt the dialogue was authentically evocative of how twelve-year-olds see the world and it was amusing, but also deeply emotive from Sammy’s perspective. The seamless blend of action, mystery, and supernatural elements is also blended well and nicely paced to create a gripping narrative that will captivate readers of all ages. Overall, The Gift is an enthralling adventure that leaves you eagerly awaiting the next installment in Sammy Greene's journey, and I would certainly recommend it to fans of exciting adventure novels everywhere.
