5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for young teen reader - entertains with some knowledge,
By
This review is from: Aquatech Warriors (Tom Swift, Book 6) (Paperback)
The story begins on an ocean platform a few hundred miles east of Bermuda - not far from the "Bermuda Triangle" - where young Tom Swift, Jr., his sister, and friends are helping the Captain and scientists test Tom's father's stable sea platform. It's supposed to be a vacation for the young ones, but soon the platform is attacked by an unkown force, and Tom and his friends use a mini-sub and diving gear to investigate. What they discover leads to more action and adventure, all suitable for children.
Tom Swift books are great for young teenagers to get some reading practice in an entertaining way that's educational too. While the portions of the plot relating to the villain follow the usual formula, designed to build suspense and keep the reader interested, the science and diverse locations (under the ocean, in this case) are interesting to the curious young mind and somewhat educational. The author threw in some real facts about oceanography and diving, and reasonable speculation about near-future technology. The background details about Bermuda and the Atlantic are accurate, as well. I read some of the Tom Swift books published in the 1950s when I was a kid, and even one of the really old series from the 1920s out of curiosity. Fortunately, they keep getting better.
