Review: Hidden Courage (Atlantis)

I read "Hidden Courage" before the other 2 books in the Atlantis series because it gives a solid background as to the main character of all 3 books. By the time you get through the first few pages of the book, you start to get a solid grasp as to who this adventurer really is, how he thinks, and how he will react to stress situations.It was easy for me to form mental pictures of what Chris was writing about because he was able to describe, in detail, everything that our hero, Jack, saw and did. As one commentator wrote, I found myself reading faster when I got to a particularly exciting part, just so I could see how it turned out and if Jack made it back in one piece. Fortunately, Jack does prevail, and gets back home to the loving arms of his parents.Now I am involved in the second book in the series, "Tomb of Atlantis". I'll not get into any particulars about this book, other than to say that in "Tomb", Jack gets into a much more harrowing situation than he did in "Hidden Courage". I do believe that that boy has 9 lives, and I don't mean the cat food. Read this one. You will really enjoy it.
