review 1: Em and Matt Calder are back to save the world. You thought after defeating Tanan and the Hollow Earth Society once that it would be all good, case closed? Ha! You thought wrong! After the incident that ripped through the family, Matt and Em are stuck in a world without animating, which at the moment, meant no drawing, making art, or coloring of any kind until they could get their powers under control. But do you think that will stop them? Of course not, because in a book, do main characters usually do what their told what to do? So in a trip to 19th Century London, Zach is separated from Matt and Em, so Matt and Em use water skis to chase after him, accidently scaring some fisherman, and Zach almost gets killed. Typical time-travel. When the group comes back, all the adult... mores are angry. Except Sandie. Did I mention she disappeared? Oh, and a book filled with monsters is close to being unleased, which would overrun the world with monsters. So, the sum up the situation, it’s pretty bad. The second book in the Hollow Earth series will sure to keep you on edge.
review 2: We thought this was the first book in the series, but it's the second. Oh we'll. No wonder we were so confused by the prologue! But once into the book, we enjoyed it. This fantasy/time-travel story alternates between modern times at a monastery on a Scottish island and the Middle Ages at the same monastery. Logan liked the medieval parts best. I (mama) liked all the references to real paintings and the idea that the artists (like Van Gogh, Seurat, and Turner) were Animare; people who can animate paintings into real life. There is a Hollow Earth web site that shows or has links to the paintings that appear in the books. The book ends at a real cliff hanger. It feels like pages have been ripped out of the back! Unfortunately, the next book isn't out and I can find no mention of it anywhere, so no idea if or when we'll be able to find out what happened. less
