My Review:

"Guy Erma and the Son of Empire" is a great young adult science fiction book. It is also the kind that adults will also find interesting. Two boys totally different, one a young Prince who has disappeared and the other growing up  in poverty. I liked the storyline and the characters. Once you start to read this you will not want to stop until you have finished the book. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
