About the Book
When Bubba and Squirt travel through the mysterious vortex on a quest to save their father, they end up in Athens, Greece where they meet an old woman known as the Oracle of Delphi. Her intriguing riddles set them on a path that leads to the Netherworld, a place where danger lurks around every corner. With the help of their new friends and some unlikely allies, they must defeat the monster that holds their father captive. Will they succeed or be trapped forever in the labyrinth of the Netherworld?
Book Review
"Bubba and Squirt's Shield of Athena" is an excellent book full of suspense, mystery, magic, and riddles! The book begins with the backstory from the previous books which is helpful for those who have not read the other books.
While it is better to have read the previous books, readers are caught up on what is happening in the beginning. For reference, I read the first two books but did not read the third book but I had a good idea of what was going on in this book.
Basically, two siblings travel the world because of a magic shovel that created a portal when Bubba dug a hole in his backyard. Bubba is the brother and Squirt is the older sister. They take turns narrating the story for each chapter. This makes the book pretty cool to see the point of view of each character.
The book is easy and fun to read. It kept me in suspense and I wanted to keep reading. While the siblings solved one mystery, they had to leave before finding their father who has been kidnapped. (This must have happened in the third book which I somehow missed reading.)
They finally let their mom in on what is going on. At first she doesn't want them to go back through the portal, but then she decides that next time, she is going along with their grandpa too!
I can't wait for the next book to come out! Having their mom and grandpa go along could be quite interesting!
There are interesting facts at the end of the book, a glossary of Greek words, recipes, bibliography, and maps to help readers learn more.
As I said, I read the first two books and I enjoyed those as well! I somehow missed the third book so I will have to read that one soon!
Please note that I received a PDF copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing this book.
