The Chumash Circle was a compelling storyline and a good read. Several intertwined plots. I recommend it for all young adults.

Reading Mr. Phalen's new book reminded at first a bit of the wonderful "Hardy Boys" adventure series I'd read as a youngster. Early on, however, it became clear that more was going on here than just a mystery story. Matters of the soul, personal responsiblity, honor, and mysticism are skillfully blended for a read that carries one from page to page with momentum. All in all, it's a substantive and entertaining book written with a good deal of imagination and care. Young (and old) children will take something valuable away with themselves from having read this book.
