Gr 6–9—Jack, Ally, and Cass continue their quest to save the world—even as their friend Marco joins the enemy's side. Epic battles and fast-moving chapters will keep fans of this "Percy Jackson"-like series engaged.
In search of the Loculus of Healing, an Atlantean artifact hidden in one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, Jack and his fellow superpower-enhanced teens travel to the underworld and face sadistic Queen Artemisia and the Massarym. This third installment's slapstick humor leavens action sequences, but the characters' motivations in the indistinct series arc will leave readers confused.
