Review

Good reading for students who like science fiction adventures. A plane crashes somewhere, on its way to Japan from the US. Electrical currents seem to pull people out of their seats. They should be in the Arctic Circle, but they land in a rain forest jungle with strange animals and plants. Only middle school and high school age kids survive the crash, a team of robotics engineers, a set of Japanese twin girls, a boy interested in space, and a Japanese boy who was on his way back to his Dad's for stealing a thousand- year-old sword that was in the family for generations. Not all of the survivors live, and the sky has two moons...while some mysteries are solved, the cliffhanger sets the reader up for book two.

Overall Book Score: good
