It's midnight now here in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, and I've just finished reading Eric Marier's fantastic story, Across the Sea. I used up several Kleenex towards the end, but just had to write you and tell you how much I loved the story. The eternal war between good & evil, the possibility of someone being spiritually revived, the steely bonds of friendship, and especially the strength & perseverance of a woman/girl's love for friends and/or family, a sibling's constant love, a...more

This book isn't the kind of book I normally read but it quickly drew me in. The first third of the book kept me very interested and curious about what would happen next. After that, I grew slightly bored and tired with all of the fight scenes. I'm sure they were necessary, but I (personally) found them a bit tedious.

Competing pirates, the Treasure of Atlantis, and average kids who become heroes make this book an adventure most young adults (and old adults!) will enjoy. The story is engaging and the characters fun and unique. The only negative for me was that I didn't feel the dialogue style fit the time period (1587). What I loved about it is there is a boy and a girl hero, so this book will appeal equally to both.
