The Forever Man, by Eoin Colfer

 In this final episode of the W.A.R.P. series, Chevie Sevano is just getting used to being are in Victorian England with Riley, when they come face to face with Riley's old master, the evil Albert Garrick who has returned from the temporal wormhole with amazing powers.  All three of them are sucked back into the wormhole and are spit out in the 1600's. Garrick has been to this time period before, and had styled himself as a witch hunter.  Upon arrive, Garrick proclaims Chevie as a witch and Riley as her familiar.  The population of the small town are after them, but luckily, or unluckily, they are not the only ones to have traveled in the temporal divide. It takes a lot of skill, wits, and help from new friends, to escape the the transformed Garrick, the Forever Man, and save the world from an increasingly unstable temporal rift. 

I was a little unsure of this series when I read the first one, but Colfer does a great job in this book of tying everything up into a satisfactory ending. I was really impressed. Over the first two books he threw out a lot of threads, and I wondered if he could manage to gather them up again, but he did.  The book has Colfer's characteristic exciting action sequences, and a couple of really good plot twists. I still didn't like the writing style as much as the Artemis Fowl books, but I got used to it by the third book.  Overall it is a great middle grade/YA series, especially for those who like his other novels.
