It's a pity that there aren't more books like this around! This is a tale that you'll never forget. If you're interested in the Norse or the Eddas, this is a book you can't afford to pass up!

This is a wonderful book by author Chris Howard. It is hard to believe this is his first book.  The story is completely enchanting and transports the reader into an amazing underwater world populated by characters that leap off the page. It is dramatic, moving, and a great adventure that carries you from chapter to chapter. It is particularly endearing because of its images of strong young women learning to wield their power. After I read Seaborn I passed it on to my two adult daughters, who both loved it... read it - you will be glad you did!

I was initially sad to see the end of the adventures of ERUN CADE,but delighted to find his legacy (and adventure) lives on the next generation in this new (old) land..CORIN is a worthy hero,and his adventures and friends are no less epic! The action,intrigue and plot stay spot-on,This is excellent story-telling! I bought the book set,so I can just roll into the next story..True to the promise of adventure,this is a great read!

This book was a lot of fun! I greatly enjoyed the characters and felt swept into the journey along with them. It was along the lines of Lord of the Rings or Narnia. The reader is swept into a journey of adventure and binding friendships, with a good level of intensity to keep you intrigued. As a mother of two children (5 & 7), it was nice to read a book obviously written for pre-teen age - but enjoyable enough to keep an adult entertained. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good adventure story, especially someone who enjoys Lord of the Rings, but is not ready for it due to academic level or readiness for the intensity/topic.

Well this story starts out a little slow but once it gets going it's great! It is told in the first-person from the point of view of Taita, the slave. The author makes it easy for you to understand the character's frustrations, feelings of loss, joy, and sarcasm. Yes, at times it is a little unrealistic how he is always smarter than everyone else, but what Smith does again is create a great adventure story so that makes up for it.
The author had to add the requisite love/romance subplot which I could do without. There is some great humor in the story as well and of course it is so well written like Smith's work is known to be. I can't wait to read
The Seventh Scroll next!

This is a wonderful, magical tale, about an ordinary man who gets pulled way out of his comfort zone, and into a mystical, magical world of fantastic beings and creatures.  This book has familiar archetypes and fantasies, mixed with completely original ideas, creating an epic adventure. I also bought the audio book version on Audible, and love to listen to the audio book in my car.

A wonderful easy to read and understand book for kids of all ages actually. It is filled with adventure and lots of great illustrations that truly support and flow with the story. What is even more impressive is the historical notes provided in some parts of the story, allowing children to get a brief history lesson that really brings this exciting adventure to life. Excellent job by this writer and her already reputed illustrator. Looking forward to additional titles in the near future!

This was a wonderful little adventure / caper that took me places I've never been! Never a dull moment in this story, and so many adorable characters to meet and so many places to see!  Although I couldn't wait to get to the bottom of things, I didn't want the story to ever end!

Adventure Land is a thrilling journey!
I loved the characters! They were so simple and charming, that I couldn't help but fall in love with them! :)
Not only is it a wonderful story, but the author (Asher Edelson) was a true inspiration for me! I enjoyed the story he has written, for it inspired me to write as well! Great story! Definitely recommending!

Out in the surveying lands of Africa, adventure abounds!  I found this to be an altogether well-written, delightful and highly exciting story.

The main character, Dan Courtney, is a complete daredevil, which I love. I found him a very admirable nicely developed character. He runs into regular troubles but does everything he can to succeed. (I, of course, won't give away whether he does or doesn't.)  On top of all of it, and crucial to the story, there's a lady (Barbara) who rapidly becomes the object of much of Dan's attention when she is kidnapped. Dan also has reason to suspect her innocence in potentially illegal diamond trafficking.

My dad happens to be from South Africa, so this story held a special interest for me as it is located in Africa.

All told, this is another great adventure story with something for everyone, and I highly recommend it. I myself listened to the audiobook version, which was a highly enjoyable experience that immerses the reader/listener even deeper into the story.

Simon Rose captures imagination and brings characters to life in this adventure tale. Both boys and girls will enjoy the story. It is worth a read!

A wonderful story with just enough adventure - I found myself wanting to know what happens to all of the characters and I couldn't put it down! The fact that it's based on a true story makes it even more enjoyable and interesting. I can't wait to gift it to my teenaged nieces. Highly recommended!
