review 1: This is a great series for kids - it has so much they will enjoy. There's interesting characters, mystery, adventure, cool steampunk ships...Modo's mission this time was to find out about a mysterious underwater sea monster called Icitneo. It turns out that Icitneo is actually an ingenious submarine ship built by Captain Monturiol with an amazing mission. However, the devious Clockwork Guild is also after the ship.I was happy to see Modo back again. He is such a loveable character in his innocence, emotional vulnerability, and strength. He is an exceedingly ugly hunchbacked character around the age of fourteen who can change his appearance at will and who has been trained as a British secret agent.Modo is partnered up with Octavia, another great character. She is self reli... moreant, feisty, and able to take care of herself. Slade is a great story teller with a wonderful imagination. Some of the ideas and evil plans in this book were ingenious. I also love how he pulls on the reader's heart strings, especially where Modo is concerned, making him the most human character of them all.I think kids will really enjoy this series and the stories of perilous adventures will keep them turning the pages.
review 2: Modo, our dashing, brilliant secret agent has facial deformity that makes him look monstrous in his ordinary form, but also has the ability to change his face to look like anyone (but for limited periods of time.) Interesting look at Modo's struggle to be accepted by friends - does he show them his true face, at the risk of them being disgusted? Also, imaginative plot involving underwater utopians - could Modo finally find true acceptance among these people? less
