is another youth title. I'd guess the target audience for this book is middle school but that doesn't mean that the story line or writing are boring for adults. This book, the first in the Seven Wonders series ( as in the 7 wonders of the ancient world) was a relaxing yet engaging read. I think a blog that I read recommended it but as I haven't bookmarked the blog, I'll have to wait until she posts again to find out.Unlike the Percy Jackson books in which the heroes are demigods, in this series, the young heroes are descendants of the last ruling family of Atlantis. This relationship becomes known about the time they turn 13 and develop a lambda mark on the back of their head. When a secret organization discovers these youths, they swoop them off to a small island in the Mediterranean and train them to use their abilities and recover lost Atlantean artifacts. As the title indicates, this first novel has the team traveling to Rhodes. Being the first book in the series, most of the book is dedicated to introducing the team and helping them get set upon their path.
If you liked the Heroes of Olympus series or enjoyed reading the 39 Steps, then add this to your list. I'm getting ready to start the second book in the series,Seven Wonders Book 2: Lost in Babylon
