Why I wrote Alex Taylor and the Atlantis Code

Hey there,

Readers, parents, and fellow adventurers!

I’m Ravi Yaranian, and I’m incredibly excited to share my debut middle-grade novel with you — Alex Taylor and the Atlantis Code.

This book was born from my love for adventure, ancient civilizations, and the curiosity that fuels science and discovery. I wanted to create a story that’s not just exciting — but also teaches, inspires, and sparks imagination in young readers.

What’s inside?

Think: Time travel Ancient puzzles STEM-based mysteries A brave AI named Zeta A clever fox companion named Koda And a high-stakes mission to decode the truth behind Atlantis before it’s too late.

It’s perfect for boys and girls ages 9–16, especially those who love I Survived, Explorer Academy, Secret Coders, or anything packed with action and smart problem-solving.

I also included bonus content for teachers, homeschoolers, and parents — including printable activities, explorer certificates, and creative worksheets — all accessible via QR codes in the paperback.

If you’re looking for a thrilling, classroom-friendly book that blends mythology, science fiction, and emotional growth, I hope you’ll check it out.

Thanks for joining me on this journey — and stay tuned for more posts about the story, the research behind the puzzles, and what’s coming next for Alex!
