amylandranch 's review for:

The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens
3.0

The story begins with three siblings who are taken from their parents because they are special and need to be hid. Fast forward several years later and several orphanages later, they are still waiting for their parents to return. When they get sent to their latest home, the mysterious Dr. Pym (who happens to be a magician) helps guide them on a journey where they travel through time and save a town. It has strong sibling relationships as well as a moral overtone of right and wrong. There are some funny parts and some scary parts. It definitely is an action packed book. Some of the time travel stuff got a little fuzzy as how to it worked. I would say both boys and girls will like this book and those who like fantasy/magic books will really enjoy it.
