I love adventure stories. It is very pleasing that the story is written in two perspectives, I think this is really important to understand both Tom and Sarah's encounter. I also like that the author uses vivid description and this is because when I read a book, I like to visualize the places. The book having an audiobook is amazing especially for people who love listening more than reading but generally I prefer reading.

This book seems like a fascinating read. I like the fact that it is filled with adventures, mystery, and drama. I'm, therefore, looking forward to reading this. Thank you for this wonderful review!

Considering the nature of the storyline, inclusion of legends is an interesting aspect. Plus, all the characters have their own unique perspective and distinctive personalities. Thank you for the amazing review.

An adventure story mixed with Native American legends and archaeology sounds like the kind of thing I’d be glued to reading! Glad I downloaded this book now. It’s a pity the characters don’t have much background and the ending is abrupt, but I am fascinated to find out just what happened to young Sarah when she went missing.

I also don't like it when stories end abruptly, unless there's a sequel. I don't know about audio books; I've never listened to a book before but it sounds like it could be worth a try. Thanks for this review.

I feel this book will become one of those classic ones that everybody will have heard about, even if they haven't read it.
I bet that, within a few generations, kids will have to study it at school.
To read or not to read? That's not even a question!

What part of the ending didn't you care for? Did you want more about the "after effect" of their journey? I kind of like how it ended openly like that, leaves room for interpretation OR even a sequel. But I can see the want to know more. I would rather a story end openly than have an author try to hurry the ending and cheapen the integrity of the whole story. (Seems like it happens a lot)

I have a hard time paying attention when listening to an audiobook so I also prefer a written one. I enjoy reading about Mative American legends and this book sounds like it also has plenty of mystery too.

This book sounds really interesting and I'm definitely adding it to my list. I think that I wouldn't listen to the audiobook though, I don't like having someone else's voice in my head, and find that it often flattens the story.

I have not had the chance to listen to an audiobook but I feel that I would not like it so much as reading the book. This book sounds like a great adventure story with Native American details. Thanks for your review!
