Atlantis

Atlantis #1

by Frances Mary Hendry

Exciting fantasy adventure story for young adults. An unbelievable discovery by a young boy suddenly puts the underwater city in great danger. A creak, a crunching growl, a roar. A brief dazzle of light. He tried to leap for the wall, as the Coal had told him to do, but his bad ankle gave way. The roof fell in... Far below the Antarctic ice, the folk of Atlantis have lived for centuries, safe from the cold and danger Outside. 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 well-being to his people.

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.
