Gladius and Elle are on their way home after the Bartlett Trial. But when they get to their homes they find them burned down and her family missing. There is something strange going on and with a clue from an old map Gladius, Elle, and Henry decide to go to the Sea of Lost Souls to rescue their families.

Although the synopsis is short, don’t let that discourage you. There is a lot of action, adventure, and mysterious creatures that the kids run into. I started reading and had a hard time putting it down just so I could get a couple hours of sleep. I just couldn’t wait to see what the kids ran across next.

This would be a great book for mid grade readers or anyone that likes the Percy Jackson series.

I received this book for free from the Library Thing Early Reviewer Program (a while ago) in exchange for an honest review. ( )

I believe this style of writing is similar to Christopher Paolini and T.A. Barron. Fast Paced and well written, I read two books in this series and know this is a definite adventure book for boys. Girls will enjoy them as well, but the genre is fitting for reluctant boy readers. ( )
