Review: You’re flying over the ocean at forty miles per hour on an ancient rug. The wind is in your face and so is a mysterious fog. You can’t go back because that’s what Sara (a fifteen year old girl) and Amesh ( a one handed boy) are worried about in Christopher Pikes book Secret of Ka.

When Sara goes to Turkey with her father she meets a boy she really likes named Amesh who’s a little older than her. At her father’s work site she finds a magic carpet. She and Amesh experiment with it and they lose control and are taken to an island with genies or djinn. On the island Amesh loses control of a djinn and leaves Sara alone without the carpet. Sara has to save him while discovering the truth about her life.

What I like best about the book is the amazing story itself. It has adventure, secrets and magic. Sara is a smart, caring girl with an American teenage girl attitude. Even though the beginning is a little slow each chapter keeps getting better until you can’t put the book down. I recommend this book for kids in middle school and people who enjoy fantasy, mystery and romance. I rate this book a 8 out of 10, because even though it was a wonderful book it has an open ending and I’m not a romance person. When you read this book it will take you to another world.
