Jake Ransom’s parents were famous archeologists who disappeared a couple of years ago. One day Jake gets a weird package and the next thing you know Jake and his older sister Kady are transported into the strange world of Calypsos, located thousands of years in the past. Jake realizes that in addition to having to watch out for the Skull King, who is trying to take Calypsos over, that this world could lead them to the answers of why their parents disappeared. This is the first book in this series and it reminded me of a cross between the Percy Jackson series and the movie “National Treasure”. It is definitely action packed and full of adventure. I thought it was a little on the predictable side, but for younger reluctant readers, especially boys I think this would be a good suggestion and one that would keep their attention.
