Product Description
Review
A breathtaking and original tale of two young people who find themselves in a mysterious and dangerous world... the book is not merely a high-octane, suspense-filled thriller. There is just enough detail about the varied civilisations within Calypsos to whet the appetite of young readers, and while they wait for the next book in the series, many will feel encouraged to do some further research. (THE BOOKBAG )
A Children's title that parents will find themselves sneaking out of their kid's room for a crafty read...Entertaining, enlightening and with the pace and exoticism of a Jaguar; we couldn't peel our eyes away from page after page... the only disappointment came when we realised we'd reached then end. Rollins may be a good thriller writer, but he is a magnificent children's author. (THE TRUTH ABOUT BOOKS )
James Rollins is a brilliant author who is blessed with the talent of being able to entertain readers of all ages. Very few books appeal to everybody, but this amazing plotline is a definite exception! People will practically have their eyes glued to each page of it as the plot quickly unfolds before them. (Amy Naylor, Age 14 )
I would recommend this book for children aged 10+. It's a great storyline with twists and turns on every page, a real thriller. I would also recommend this book to fantasy lovers, and fans of historical fiction... I loved this book and hopefully others will too. (Reuben, Age 11 CHICKLISH )

i bought this book for myself not realising it was for children. i found it very gripping without the violence of the adult versions. ididnt think i would be so gripped to it. the girl character in the book was just like my 13year old who is now reading it and find it in her words sound ! well worth a read and would highly recomend it well done Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow

Having read James' books for a number of years, I was interested to see what would occur with his first children's book. As you'd expect from a thriller writer, he has a great sense of pace and you know that he really understood his male lead very well (as it turned out to be a younger version of James himself.) It also has some interesting characters, a deliciously evil villain and to top it all off, some great idea's with dialogue as this adventure takes you to James' version of the Lost World. Great fun, great adventure and with more to follow, the reader can be sure of a few more scrapes to enjoy as the darkness closes in.
