review 1: I love reading books based on Native American legends (since I am part Native American). This one spooked me out a little, because the Chiefs were still “alive.” Then we were seeing through so many different people’s viewpoints! Like the couple that disappears after a very scary afternoon. I’m hoping the sequel clears up why they were portrayed in this book. I can’t imagine everyone over the age of 16 just disappearing. Poor kids! Luckily they weren’t younger. I didn’t like all the fighting (but I just skim those parts) and how you can’t tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Why is it that we had no communication with the good guy anyway? That was pretty strange too! Either way I’ll be reading the se... morequel.
review 2: found Crater Lake a perfect book for tweens, a wonderful adventure for sure. The book starts out with readers getting to meet Ethan and his family which includes his little sister Jordan. This trip is one that Ethan is forced to go on , one he is bored on from the very beginning, even as his Uncle begins to tell about the native aspects of the stories that surround Crater Lake. Little by little you get to meet an array of characters , some scouts, a girl that Ethan gets a crush on , even a Native that might be more than he seems. throughout book you quickly learn that perhaps the stories Uncle Bart tells are not just stories after all. I really enjoyed watching the characters grow , as they struggled to survive and free their parents from the very ground that devoured them. Crater Lake is a wonderful mix of intrigue and adventure. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a book that teaches you about determination , and teamwork. less
