Hello everyone! I’m Emily, a new volunteer for the library.
I’m an incoming junior at Martinsville High School and Cassie has been generous
enough to let me write for the blog. Today I’m writing about the new book by
Eoin Colfer, W.A.R.P. The Reluctant Assassin.

| W.A.R.P Book 1: The Reluctant Assassin by Eoin Colfer |
It’s science fiction, adventure novel about teenage FBI
agent, Chevron Savano. When something goes wrong on a mission back in the US,
the agency ships Chevron, nicknamed Chevie, to London. She’s on what she calls
a “baby-sitting” mission. At first, it seems like it is just baby-sitting, but
that’s just not exciting enough for an Eoin Colfer book.
While you’re reading about Chevie, you’re also reading about
a teenage boy named Riley, who lives in London in 1889. He’s an apprentice to
the assassin Garrick, and they’re on a mission to prove that Riley has what it
takes to be a killer. He’s to kill an old man, but before Riley can, the man
wakes up and spreads orange magic around himself. Garrick kills him, but the
magic is already working.
Garrick, a retired magician, is fascinated when the orange
magic grabs Riley and the man—and pulls them into a wormhole that brings Riley
to the future. Specifically, it brings him right to the pod that Special Agent
Savano is baby-sitting. Soon Riley and Chevie are lost in a conspiracy about 18th
century crime bosses, dirty FBI agents, escaped witnesses, and Chevie may end
up trapped in the past forever.
If you were a fan of Artemis Fowl, you’ll be a fan of the W.A.R.P.
series. It keeps you guessing at every page turn. It’s a book full of time
travel, mystery, and magic. It’s a very fast paced book, but it will drag you
in. Just wait until you read the Epilogue. You’ll be cursing Eoin Colfer.
