Jake Ransom and the Skull King’s Shadow by James Rollins
When a mysterious envelope arrives for Jake Ransom, he and his older sister, Kady, are plunged into a gripping chain of events. An artifact found by their parents—on the expedition from which they never returned—leads Jake and Kady to a strange world inhabited by a peculiar mix of long-lost civilizations, a world that may hold the key to their parents' disappearance.
But even as they enter the gate to this extraordinary place, savage grackyls soar across the sky, diving to attack. Jake's new friends, the pretty Mayan girl Marika and the Roman Pindor, say the grackyls were created by an evil alchemist—the Skull King. And as Jake struggles to find a way home, it becomes obvious that what the Skull King wants most is Jake and Kady—dead or alive.

ReplyDeleteIt may be the longest book on the bluebonnent list but it is the best one on there. where jake ransom parents recently died on a adventure. jake and kady are left with tere aunt and uncle. they get a strange package to the museum and might let jake and kady figure out how there parents died. when jake gets to the museum there something strange about the statue in the corner something there parents found on there last joureny. can it lead them to how there parents died or lead them on the same adventure as there parent and defeat the same thing they did.

ReplyDeleteThis book was not eye catching until the last three chapters in my opinion. It had a suprise ending when they turned back time. I would recommend this book for people who are into adventure.
