This book is super entertaining for younger kids! It kept me involved but also entertained my younger kids. A lot like Magic Tree house, but longer and more descriptive. If you are driving with kids I reccomend the audiobook. If you just like to read books then I would reccomend this book highly for kids.
Right up my alley for reading. I liked it because it got my attention and I was a goner after that.!!

Arghhh.... I written a good review and lost it due to goodreads being over capacity.. Right main points.. I wont spoil this book beyond the synopsis, but i reckon all fans of James Rollins, especially read this book. Hell I recommend this book to anyone.James Rollins is my favorite author. I love he style of writing and how he twists fact into fiction/reality into fiction, to create amazing story/book worlds and with interesting characters. I admit a first I was hesitant to read this book.
DNFI remember it had potential but didn't live up to it.
