Across The Sea eBook Eric Marier Reviews
I simply loved this book. It was easy to follow, the characters were adorable, and I fell in love with Lily almost immediately. She was so much like me (not really) that I think the author was watching my childhood unfold (I only wish!).
Francis was unfaltering in his quest to find his brother. I loved the reunion...oops hope that doesn't give too much away. He is exactly what a boy hero should be and his adventures are exactly like adventures should be. I loved being taken along with him and rooting for him as he got himself into trouble and back out again.
I have to say, there were a couple of places that I kind of got lost in the story and had to read back a bit to figure out where someone came in or what happened. I think, though, that was my own fault for wanting to read faster to find out what happened next rather than a fault of the author's narrative. This whole book was so much fun to read I found myself putting it down to just think about it a while. Wonder how in the world he, or usually she, would get themselves out of that mess. It was fun to try to figure it out, then go back to the book to see what really happened.
I like the way the author kept us in the era of pirates and kept us in the world of Spain and England. It was fun to imagine those times and he kept the pictures vivid in my mind so I felt I was part of that whole mess and helping them get to the end. I'm really bad at following war stories and I'm afraid this was no exception. I kept getting the two teams mixed up and kept having to go back to check to see who was who. The author was great at not really denoting them as good guys and bad guys which made it that much harder for me to keep track.
The writing style was easy to read, fun to follow and hard to put down. He writes simply without a lot of `adult' words and for that I would recommend it for your young readers. I'm definitely recommending it to my grandson. He'll love it.
Generally, this was a great book and one well worth reading. You will have great fun with Lily especially. I just adored her and hope to see her in future books.
In "Across the Sea" by Eric Marier, imaginative 12-year-old Francis Bright is swept away on an unbelievable journey that leads him straight to the legendary lost island of Atlantis. Marier's tale opens with an excerpt from a private journal that tells of Atlantis' fate, and the English captain Robert of Dreighton who is obsessed with finding the fabled Treasure of Atlantis. Years and years after Robert of Dreighton and his enemies had given up their search for the treasure, Francis finds himself caught in the middle of their continuing treasure hunt.
Several months ago, Francis' brother was pronounced "missing at sea" and no one in Francis' family has dared to even mention his name. When a prank in the old lighthouse puts Francis in the path of a man with a mysterious red cloak, Francis hides on board the man's vessel in search of answers. The red cloak is representative of the Brotherhood of Blood, the men responsible for Michael's disappearance. Francis has never given up hope that his brother lives. What Francis did not know was that this man had planned to capture Francis--because he is the key to unraveling the whereabouts of the Treasure of Atlantis.
Not only do I love the name "Across the Sea", but I also love the idea of Atlantis. I have literally spent hours daydreaming about what the civilization, aesthetics, and the people might have been like. To a certain degree, Across the Sea has quenched some of my thirst for more literature to read on this fascinating subject. Though Atlantis is certainly an important factor in this YA historical novel, readers will become more involved in the lives of characters such as Francis Bright, Lily, and the mysterious Bodin. Bright and Bodin especially have compelling backstory; Lily, though a loyal companion to Francis Bright, doesn't have much history but has a clever mind that saves Bright in several impossible situations. I truly cared about each of these characters--even Bodin, who finds redemption near "Across the Sea's" conclusion.
"Across the Sea" drew me in completely at the beginning, but then lost me a little when all the warring captains and their ships were introduced. I found it difficult to keep everyone and their motives entirely straight; I wasn't sure who I should be rooting for. Swash-buckling scenes seemed to go on endlessly in the second quarter of the novel, and could probably have been shortened. This is a personal preference, though; other readers might find these scenes absolutely enthralling.
"Across the Sea" is a bit open-ended, and I really hope to see more adventures with Francis, Michael, and Bodin. The riddle of Atlantis seems to have reached its final chapter, but there are still other wonders of the world left to explore.

Great
Love it
It's been a long time that I've read a book that I got into as much as this one. It an epic adventure that's draws you in and doesn't let go until the last page. I can't wait to read more from this author.
A tale of pure mystery and intrigue. Many of the occurences were highly unexpected and thrilling. Makes for a great read.
This is a teen novel and doesn't contain much to recommend it.
A rollicking adventure for all ages and gender. Especially refreshing is the lack of profanity and sex so you can enjoy reading. While adults of questionable intent are ruthlessly seeking the treasures of lost Atlantis, a young boy and girl desperately try to rescue friends from danger. Highly entertaining and well written.
