Jimmy Chartron and the Lost Key Stone by J.T. Michaels

Jimmy Chartron has his heart set on becoming an electrician and has worked hard to be accepted at the elite Naval Academy of Eagleton. When he starts his year, he discovers a secret compartment on the statue of Tessa Marlise, a hero from the Great War, now a century past. As he fiddles with a gap he finds, something happens, and when he wakes from a blackout realizes that he has another person in his body. A ghost – and the ghost of a sassy girl to boot! The last thing Tessa remembers is protecting the Keystone with her life, and now it is a century later, and she is stuck in the mind of a sixteen-year-old boy. Tessa quickly takes the lead, and soon she and Jimmy is spying on the Headmaster and Headmistress. They are caught up in a conspiracy to cover up the actual cause of the great war and a race to prevent another war. J.T Michaels wrote a great fantasy starter, and it promises to be a series that will become loved by YA readers.

Jimmy Chartron by J.T. Micheals is a YA fantasy adventure with great worldbuilding and characters. I loved it, the cover caught my eye and the story was so much fun to read. The story has a fast pace and is full of action and witty dialogue. Jimmy acts like a real teenager and is an excellent example of someone taking responsibility for his life and working hard to make his dreams come true. He is very accomplished in coming up with excuses to get himself out of trouble, which, after he meets Tessa, seems to be a lot. I liked the characters very much and would recommend this to avid readers of the YA genres; even adults will enjoy this book. There is no profanity and therefore is squeaky clean and fit for younger readers as well.
