Far below the Antarctic ice, the folk of Atlantis have lived in safety for centuries. But when a boy called Mungith makes an unbelievable discovery in the old mines, the Atlantans' lives are suddenly in great danger. Then tragedy hits the kingdom, and Mungith knows he will be blamed-unless he can somehow restore peace and wellbeing to his people... First published in 1997, this novel is now reissued in a smaller mass-market paperback format.

Måske nærmere 3 stjerner, men kreativiteten trækker op.
Det kan tydeligt mærkes, at det er en gammel bog, men samtidigt udforsker den relevante emner såsom kulturmøder og det at blive voksen. Da jeg først var kommet lidt ind i bogen og havde fanget præmissen for fortællingen, blev den faktisk fint spændende.
