Extended description

Spain 1648. Luis, almost fifteen, is very different from almost every other young person in the small, sweltering village of Riodelgado. He is different because he can read. Targeted by the local toughs, who make his life a misery, Luis works tirelessly to provide for his ailing mother and young sister. Then, one day, a mysterious stranger comes to the village and gradually everything begins to change. The stranger is a soldier, wandering through Spain searching out opportunities.

As soon as the soldier appears, terrible things begin to happen. People are murdered; children disappear. The Mayor blames an ogre. The soldier supports this view and can give evidence of the hideous creature. And he demands it be hunted down.

However, whilst talking to his old tutor, it becomes clear to Luis that there is far more to this story than just the appearance of an ogre. Could it be that this mythical beast is in some way a smokescreen, designed to keep everyone from the truth?

Review by: Deb Hockenberry on Oct. 28, 2011 :
Fourteen – year - old Luis has so many problems in his young life. His father marched off to war only to be murdered. Luis is left as the man of the house caring for his sick mother and younger sister. Each day, he rises earlier than anyone else in his household to go to his job of delivering bread to people that can afford it. Upon returning home, Luis feeds his family breakfast of bread and some water that he carries from the village well each day. But Luis has the determination not to live in poverty for the rest of his life. So, Luis is being educated by Senor Martinez. Everyday, he’s bullied on his way to Senor Martinez’ house by the other boys in his village.

This reviewer liked The Story Of Don Luis and would recommend it to any young adult who’s interested in history. Even though this is fiction, this is a well – written ebook. It’s very detailed and shows what life is like in a small Spanish village in the 1600’s. It shows the everyday struggles and prejudices that people faced everyday back then.The author created characters so well that I could see them in my minds’ eye. He paints pictures with his words so that you can see the furniture, houses and even the kitchen utensils! I have reviewed the author before and this was a very different kind of book than he usually writes. He usually writes historical paranormal mysteries for young adults which are historical but much more action – packed and mysterious. Personally, I like his historical paranormal mysteries better but that’s just my own taste.

Review by: Stuart Yates on Oct. 09, 2011 :
A thrilling story, full of mystery and intrigue. A young man discovers not only the identity of the murderer who lurks in the mountains, but also much about himself. A real page-turner, this story will have you hooked until the last, explosive page. If you like historical tales that thrill and surprise, then you will love The Story of Don Luis.
