Review:

Cruz Coronado is on another adventure with his team exploring an archeological site hoping to find a tomb in Turkey. But, Cruz experienced a misstep and fell down a hole and was separated from his team. He later learned that Nebula had threatened to kill him on his 13^th birthday, which was the present day and steal his journal. He was safe and so was his journal, at least for the time being. Cruz would continue to keep his mom’s formula safe along with the three interlocking stones he had found. 

For those young readers who have been following the Explorer Academy series, book four will not disappoint. As Nebula and its spies continue to chase and do harm to the main characters, the suspense rises as Cruz gets closer to solving his mother’s clues and finding the answers he needs. Parents and teachers can share this series for more than just a good read. There are puzzles, technology, history and travels that can truly engage readers and get them to want to learn more.
