I enjoyed this series many years ago, when I was young. We just borrowed this from the library, and so glad we didn't buy it. This book has a possibility of 18 endings. You'd think with that many endings, at least 1 has got to be a good ending, but no, that isn't the case here. With at least 3 you end up dead & the other endings make you go "huh?". You aren't able to fulfill the quest you've been sent on, which was to vindicate yourself of nobody believing you found Atlantis.

I have the hardest time finding books that keep my son's interest, and that aren't baby books. He is 7, and these CYOA books fit the bill. Rereading the first few pages every time gets old, but he accommodates by skipping to the initial question to get things rolling.

I have to say, the repints are nice, but I miss the old artwork - I liked it. Also, this story is one of the weak ones. I am not sure half the time what is going on and, while I had a few interesting endings, I did not solve the problem which is nobody believes my character got to Atlantis.

I kind of wish I had more background of the main character's FIRST adventure. Oh well.
