What Reviewers Say:

  • More than just a boy action adventure. Under the surface you can actually depict a sensitive side to the story. The book feels like the reader is engaging in a head long rush of excitement and into a long journey containing peril and danger.” Vincent Ripley
    Mr Ripley's Fantastic Books
  • This book is one of the rare sequels that improve upon the original. Touches of science fiction and fantasy add flavor to the adventure and action, as do Borgesian allusions and a charming tale of two long-dead lovers. A good bet for the thrill-seeking middle-school crowd.” Kirkus Reviews
