From Booklist

This concluding volume of the Navigator series begins 10 months after Owen killed the Harsh king, and the villainous Harsh are preparing their revenge. Mounting a mighty invasion, they plan to turn Earth into an icy wasteland, and once more, the Resistors must be awakened to defend the world. The action is intense and mysteries are cleverly solved as McNamee skillfully weaves multiple plot strands together. The large cast of characters and ingenious contraptions are as intriguing as ever. The conclusion is wholly satisfying, yet McNamee leaves the door slightly ajar for future adventures. Grades 5-8. --Lynn Rutan

This review is from: The Frost Child (Navigator Trilogy) (Hardcover)

What a beautiful book! I'm not just talking illustrations here! I was thoroughly impressed by this author. I've read my share of time traveling... well... travelers when I came across the book series. The front cover was enough to make me stop and open it up. Boy was I glad that I did.

This story revolves around young Owen, he is a lonely kid, but suddenly he is trust into a world he doesn't know or understand, the Resisters, against the Harsh (a scary race of old-as-time cold 'brats')who are fighting for the very lives of humanity and time itself. If you've read the series you learn that Owen is the Navigator, the one who can pilot time.

As this story progresses, it's amazing how time is especially explained in a way I've never thought it could be. As if it is a vase ocean, and only one person has the map, Owen. It is a spectacular read, this book especially, though I wish there was more to come. It holds inside beautiful illustrations, as do all the books of the trilogy.

The only thing I can say about this book is WOW. I recommend this to anyone from the ages of twelve and up. It is a must buy, check-out, or 'borrow' from a friend book.
