I love the idea for this Territory and this adventure was really something! Lots of tragic moments but a pace that doesn't stop! Even the "real world" / Second Earth storyline was making me jumpy but it was SO wonderfully handled by the end that I was almost applauding :) A great 2nd book and I'm jumping right into the 3rd!

His mission is nothing less than to save the universe from ultimate evil. And he's taking Bobby along for the ride. Fresh from his first adventure on Denduron, Bobby finds himself in the territory of Cloral, a vast world that is entirely covered by water. Cloral is nearing a disaster of huge proportions. Reading the journals Bobby sends home, his friends learn that the desperate citizens of the endangered floating cities are on the brink of war.

Bobby Pendragon, the Traveler, has barely recovered from his adventures on Denduron in Pendragon: The Merchant of Death (Aladdin/S & S, 2002/VOYA December 2002) when he and his Uncle Press are thrust into another planetary conflict. After all, that is what Travelers do-move through space and time saving alternate Earths. The planet this time is the water world of Cloral, where someone is poisoning the floating cities' food supplies, one at a time. Bobby teams up with Cloral's young Traveler, Spader, and is rejoined by Dendurolis Loor, both of whom have lost parents to their planet's tragic conflicts. Soon, however, neighbor begins attacking neighbor, and unless these heroes can stop the culprit, the evil St. Dane, and find the titular lost city, world war will ensue. MacHale's first installment is wildly popular with middle-schoolers. They love the action, adventure, and magic, and feel that Bobby is a hero to whom they can relate. Fans will not be disappointed in this sequel, which offers up more of the same. A talented world builder, MacHale creates endlessly fascinating landscapes and unique alien characters. On Cloral there is the added bonus of extreme water sports, with lots of water sled races and chases. Nor is the author afraid to pull punches, as a major character falls to the truly vile St. Dane. The series is shaping up to be a solid addition to the fantasy genre and will keep readers not only busy but also content until the next Harry Potter appears.-Arlene Garcia. (
