Mr. Nayes has written a wonderful little book here. It should be well received by readers age 12 and up. A compelling adventure that keeps the reader discovering information on a wide variety of topics. Well nuanced but very much there to see are important thoughts about friendship, self esteem and loyalty. Not to mention love. Love of friendship, sure, but also love of knowledge, natural science and history. You know, the kind that should last a life time. I highly recommend the book to anyone with a preteen reader on their gift list and equally to any reader who enjoys a good adventure story. Brings to life a sort of present day Jules Verne style of adventure. And any book with a yellow lab in it is got to be ok!I found the book very well written as well as enjoyable to read. Perfect addition to the library of anyone interested in the genre whatever the reason, be they an educator, parent or just the reader looking for a nice entertaining change of pace. It's thoughtful and thought provoking.
