Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA fascinating twist on the Atlantis legend. Filled with action, adventure, and a great deal of heart. * Stuart Gibbs, New York Times bestselling author of the Spy School series *
Features expeditious pacing, ample secrets, and imaginative science and tech creations that are zippy indeed * Kirkus Reviews *
This steampunkish sci-fi/fantasy adventure is quickly paced, an inventive, if far-fetched, engagement of plastics pollution and climate change—as well as a diverting vision of Atlantis’s underwater technology. Lewis’s middle-grade wackiness is quietly funny and realistic. * The Horn Book Magazine *
"Full of action and adventure.” * Geekmom *
A triumph! The book is smart, current, compelling, funny, and full of heart. There is so much to love. The premise is brilliant. I love the characters (especially those who transform into heroes as the adventure unfolds) and the interactions between those of two worlds . . . The plotting and pacing of the novel are perfect, the suspense and adventure never waver. Still, one of my favorite elements of the story is its humor. * Christopher Rose, Andover Bookstore (Andover, MA) *
Atlantis: the Accidental Invasion is sure to be a hit with readers and teachers. The kids will appreciate the blend of humor, science, and speculation, all wrapped up in an undersea adventure. Teachers can use it to open up class discussions about our oceans and inspire great "what if" scenarios. * Kristine Jelstrom-Hamill, Buttonwood Books (Cohasset, MA) *
What if the legend isn’t a myth? What if Atlantis is real and the people who live there have through the generations adapted to their environment? Atlantis: The Accidental Invasion is that story. This fanciful twist highlights the serious topic of climate change with quirky characters and lots of high tech gadgetry that is very cool! Kids who like constant action are going to really enjoy this book. * Kathleen "Totsie" McGonagle, Buttonwood Books (Cohasset, MA) *
