Reviewed By Melinda Hills for Readers' FavoriteFive Stars*****Ian
and Callie are back at their brother and sister bickering but when
cooperation is needed, they are certainly there for one another.
The Ice Orphan of Ganymede, Book 2 of The Jupiter Chronicles by
Leonardo Ramirez, picks up with Jupiter in turmoil and major
questions about the ability of First Petros to rebuild the realms.
With Ian's sudden illness and his return to Jupiter in search of a
cure, his legacy as a Castillo begins to become clear. In a
competition to win the keys for the right to be healed in the
Chrysalis Chamber, Ian and Callie help another contestant, in spite
of the threat of losing. They gain his trust, however, and discover
an amazing connection to this unusual young man, their father and
the Chrono Legion, the peace keepers of the Jovian realm. Dealing
with his uncertainty about his relationship with his father, Ian
struggles with deciding how to continue - should he just trust
things to work out or turn his back on a new friend to protect his
feelings?
The Ice Orphan of Ganymede, Book 2 of The Jupiter Chronicles by
Leonardo Ramirez, is an excellent story, creatively combining fact
and fiction both on Earth and in outer space. Ian and Callie are
typical children with an interesting legacy and move between worlds
as easily as between their home and a friend's place. Issues of
loss, love and abandonment are woven into the overall action of the
story and provide a good lesson regarding motivation and personal
growth in spite of hardships. Children of all ages can relate to
the feelings of this unusual brother and sister pair as well as
become enthralled with the action.
