Kaz is a Canadian hockey player with only two test dives to his credit. Adrianna is the daughter of a wealthy society family and usually spends her summers working at...more
The gordan korman series(s), are very action-packed and full of suspense. It is for anyone who wants to read a book that will keep them guessing. I just couldn't put this book down it is so good. It is about the main character Kaz, who goes and teams up with three other summer interns to go diving of an island and help tag caves locations in the water for some supposed, "scientist" that aren't who they clame to be. Dante, another one of the divers who happens to be colorblind is able to see text...more
Intense,pulse pumping,realistic,adventure, if these are some of the characteristics, or themes you like in a story you should read the book Dive by Gordon Korman. This story is really good, so even if you dont like the themes to this book you should still read it.

I like the book. The book is about 4 teenagers who was selected in a summer internship with the Poseidon Oceanograpic Institute. My favorite character is Dante Lewis he is the one who is taking photos under the sea. I liked him because it would be really cool taking photos under the sea. I liked the part when the 4 of them meet, because sometimes they will tell how do they looked like. If I was selected in Poseidon Oceanographic Institute I would probably say yes and I want to be the one who is...more
I will give this book 5 stars because just when you start reading it you already become interested in it. The author of this book is Gordon Korman.
This book is about 4 teenagers that in the summer are chosen to go to the Poseidon Oceanographic Institute. None of them knows why they have been chosen ,if they don't have much experience about diving. The only one who has more experience than the others is Star but still it is not enough. While time passes the 4 teenagers discover that they have b...more

Dive The Discovery is a great book by Gordon Korman. It all starts when Kaz, Arianna, Dante, and Star each take a summer internship at a place called Poseidon where they are supposed to help some people by diving and marking underwater caves. They have to mark the caves because of a recent seismic event. But it doesn't take them long before they find some treasure underwater, but when they go to tell the crew there with, the crew says that its worthless.

I was not a very big fan of this book because I didn't really understand it. This book was about four kids who weren't that great at diving but they were chosen to spend their summer to explore the ocean. During this journey they run into many problems like killer sharks and the fact that some people are not telling them everything they need to know will put them in a lot of danger.
Dive by Gordon Korman is about four teenagers who got picked to spend the summer scuba diving at Saint Luc. It tells two stories and the second one is about english government approved pirates.
I liked the book because the characters were really good and it told two great stories. I recommend this book to anyone who likes sailing, oceans, and or realistic fiction.

This book is about a bunch of kids who go to an island. I like this book because its adventurous. i sugest this book to anyone who likes to wonder what is going to happen next. If anyone tells you about this book and what its like it will probablly give it away. I'm really glad I took time to read this book.
A really great mistery that by the end of these series you will be shocked by the ending. The characters are very realistic in this book. you will not be able to put this book down. It is that good.You should really read this dook and the whole series
I don't know why I didn't like it. I just read it and I couldn't ever get into it. I was suprised because I am a big fan of Koreman. I suggest that if you read it that you should probably have some interest in diving or other water sports.
Good start to the series; I found it a little less interesting than his usual books. I hope the action really picks up in the sequels. Overall, a very good read, especially if you LOVE a good Gordon Korman trilogy.
This book was a little bit slow at the beginning but I really got into it at the end. I liked this book because it relates to the field I'd like to study, marine biology. Diving is something I'd love to learn.
I thought this book focused a little in on Kaz. I can only help thinking that Gordan Korman like him a little better than Star, Adrianna, and Dante. But when the book first started it was a little mysterious.
i loved the reality of this story as per the next two books to which were very captivating and realistic. Diving has been shown in a different aspect by Korman. A Wonderful series.
I didn't like this series as much as my kids. It switched from the past to the present and the past parts were very violent. It was okay reading but I doubt I would read them again.
dive is a book about four kids who go on an under water adventure in the carabian sea. i didn`t really like the book but that`s juat my upinuon you sould read it and judge it for your self.
Just a YA book I randomly had picked up for my boys. Got desperate enough to pick it up and read it one afternoon. Nothing much for me in it, but Ben liked it.
Another good adventure story by Gordon Korman. This one is set in the Caribbean at the site of a Spanish treasure wreck.

The Book was very good with suspense. Most suspense when the book ended and made a cliffhanger making me want to read the book.
Fun fiction of the sea, characters need a bit of developing, but good choice by our science/reading teacher for the oceans unit.

Korman wrote his first book, "This Can't be Happening at Macdonald Hall", when he was 12 years old, for a coach who suddenly found himself teaching 7th grade English. He later took that episode and created a book out of it, as well, in "The Sixth Grade Nickname Game", wherein Mr. Huge was based on that 7th grade teacher.
