There, they hide from soldiers, climb into a castle, and befriend a quirky and rebellious Dance Master whose job is to keep the culture alive. The twins must work cleverly and together in order to save the Dance Master’s life. Even if they do, will they ever be able to return home to their twenty-first-century family and friends?

“Sound the Warning” is not only a story about survival in an oppressed country, but also a story about how family loyalty and a little bit of Irish magic can overcome many problems.

Christie Sever (Author)

Christie Sever lives with her husband in a leafy green suburb of Chicago. Her bachelor degree from the University of Notre Dame is in Accounting, and her MBA is from Northwestern University. She worked for many years as a CPA. In addition to raising her own three rascals to become responsible tax-paying adults, she coached hundreds of pre-teens and teens for competition in a Public Speaking club that she founded. She has written many straight news and feature articles for local publications and the Chicago Tribune. Besides kids and writing, she enjoys running her business, Speaker’s Edge, a public speaking and presentation skills workshop, and travelling around the world. Meeting foreign children in their homelands through her travels has inspired this book series. Whenever she globe-hops, she mentally packs her protagonists with her, as they have multiple problems to resolve and many historical times and countries to visit. “Children of the World Books” highlight the culture and history of many different countries in the world. The first book in the series, “Sound the Warning,” follows the adventures of Izzy and Joe Scout as they time-travel to 18th-century Ireland. The second book, “The Magic March,” finds the Scouts time-traveling to South Africa during the apartheid years. Book 3, “Easter Eggs in the Mud,” finds the twins trying to solve the mystery of what happened to siblings who were separated during World War II in Warsaw. Book 4, “The Search for Ming” sends the adventuresome twins to two ancient Chinese dynasties. Soon to be published Book 5 explores what happened to the Inca civilization in Peru.
