When their archaeologist parents are kidnapped on a Greek island, Callie and Nick must battle a psychotic millionaire, deadly helicopters, booby-trapped tombs, earthquakes, and a lion-headed monster to reach a Mycenaean treasure fabulous enough to pay their parents' ransom.
2.5- I tried. I really did, but I just couldn't get into this book! It could have been exciting, but I was bogged down in all the detail and my mind kept wandering. The thing that bothered me most? The last few sentences. What kind of King would behave that way? Especially one as wonderful as the acclaimed Akanon?
I absolutely adored this book. It was brilliant and I fell in love with the characters. I loved that it was set abroad. It was just excellent. So exciting.
