...Spunky kids, perilous pursuits and marine mystery make for a smashing good read.
...dangerous, magical world where anything is possible and nothing can be fully explained...
I guess I didn't really like this one. The characters were not very likeable and there were too many weird unbelievable situations (a jaguar-riding witch who kidnaps children to work in her mines, and then makes them listen to her sing opera music? Carnivorous vines that pull the baby out of Maya's backpack without her noticing it?) two stars **
