The Obsidian Mask: Local Author's Tale of Adventure

Caroline Ludovici grew up traveling and living an adventuresome life. She has taken those experiences and her love of history and archeology to create the book, "The Obsidian Mask".

Published in January, "The Obsidian Mask" chronicles four teens who meet on a dig, because their archaeologist parents work together, and are thrown together under “quite unexpected and frightening circumstances.”

It is the first book in a trilogy.

“Being a bit of an old adventurer and explorer, you'll see that my books are down to earth, true to life, exciting and realistic. That means no wizards, no goblins, no morphing werewolves, and definitely no magic spells. Just good, believable, exciting, realistic stories that we can all relate to,” the Montgomery County resident writes on her Web site.

She said she wrote her books for young adults, but that anyone over the age of ten who is interested in history and adventure may like "The Obsidian Mask". Read more about the trilogy and Ludovici on her Web site.

“It’s a really fun adventure where you can learn something as well,” she said.

The book is available at BarnesandNoble.com, Amazon.com, Nestology in the King of Prussia Mall, The Spiral Bookcase in Manayunk and Harleysville Books. The price of the book is $16.95.
