Book Review: The Gates of
Atlantis: Book 6 Battle for Acropolis by Mikey Brooks...
Magic is dying. And it’s up
to 13-year-old Talon and his foster sister Hattie to save magic…and Atlantis at
the same time. Oh…my…Poseidon! Brooks had me hooked from the get-go. This
middle grade read is the sixth book in The Gates of Atlantis series, and it
doesn’t disappoint your taste buds if you love adventure, fantasy, and fair
play. Brooks has created a world where magical beings, human animal hybrids,
and humans come together to save not only Atlantis’s fate, but Earth’s fate as
well. Non-stop action and plenty of surprises are the main ingredients to this
well done story. Whether you’re looking for your next book series to read, or a
new author, Battle for Acropolis may
just be your ticket to a world that will put a smile on your face, and take you
on a journey you’ll never forget.
Here’s the Blurb:
Thirteen-year-old Talon is in
trouble…again. He didn’t mean to burn down the school library. It just
happened. Things like that always happen to Talon. His life is a mixture of the
weird and bizarre. No one else he knows can shoot fire from their hands or
cause an earthquake…but he can. Every night the same dream haunts Talon: the
destruction of an underwater city. He hasn’t a clue what it means but he feels
like fate is trying to warn him. It’s not until he runs away with his foster
sister Hattie that he discovers his trouble-making powers and strange nightmare
are connected. Together they are the key to saving magic…to saving Atlantis.
And… here’s my
Endorsement:
Things are not what they
seem in Mikey Brooks’ Battle for
Acropolis, the last installment of The Gates of Atlantis series. And trust
me—it’s a GOOD thing! Kids of all ages will love this fantastical adventure
that will make them believe that in coming together and acting as one, we can
accomplish great things. Well done, Mr. Brooks!
