Bobby Anwar _obby_nwar — "The Lock Artist" is a very unusual book, first it is told in the first person singular and secondly it is about a trade (Locksmith) that we often think about (especially when we lock our keys in our car) but seldom equate with crime. Michale has suffered a very traumatic experience at the age of eight. An experience the reader will not be aware of until the final chapters of the book. This experience has left him without a mother or a father. He has also become a select mute and has not uttered a word since the experience. He has been nicknamed; the Miracle Boy, the Golden Boy, the Milford Mute, the Young Ghost, the Boxman, and the Lock Artist during his life. At the age of eighteen Michael has found he has a talent for opening locks. He starts out with simple key locks, progresses to combination locks, and ends up with the extraordinary talent of being able to open just about any safe. A high school prank has put him in the employ of a man who discovers his talent and uses Michael as his ticket out of a very serious problem with a notorious underground figure. Michael also finds that he has fallen in live with the man's daughter, Amelia. Amelia and Michael both have a talent for art and find that they can communicate through pictures. Amelia knows that he father is in trouble and does not want Michael to becomes involved in any criminal activity. Michael feels he has no option other than to join these crooks that need his safecracking abilities. Michael must find a way to separate himself from this criminal enterprise and yet find a way to keep Amelia's father safe. A very good read that not only involves mystery but a true finding of oneself. A lesson in the hard knocks of life and being able to overcome tragedy, and in the end, although you may be able to overcomes all obstacles there will also be a price to pay for your transgressions.

Sonny Marttz sonnymartt4751 — I had so many kids tell me how awesome this story was-- kids who said they didn't normally like non-fiction, but that they couldn't put this book down. So I moved it up on my reading list, and it is indeed a fascinating story. The way that James Swanson paces the events draws the reader right in, as does his opening statement that the circumstances surrounding Lincoln's assassination and the manhunt following Lincoln's death are so bizarre that nobody could make this stuff up. Middle-grade and middle-school students will come away with a new appreciation of Lincoln and the tension that faced the country in the days following the Civil War's official end. Captivating from beginning to end.

Joseph William _josephwilliam — The book stated off a little slow, but then picked up the pace. I am looking forward to the sequel "Lifeblood". A good suggestion for those who liked "Cirque Du Freak"
