Review

It was a journal full of excitement and unknown. Nate does not know where he supposes to be. As the journal go, Nate had slowly learned the family's history and knows where he belongs. The author did a good job on slowly feed information to Nate. It makes the growth of Nate seems reasonable. I was disappointed that the coverage of the phoenix is not much. I expect more coverage as the title had suggested. The phoenix is one of the reasons I want to read this book. Overall, the story is recommendable for tween readers.
