TRAPPED The Prometheus Project, Book 1

Josh Hurley skillfully creates siblings Ryan and Regan Resnick, who have left their San Diego hometown and moved to "boring" Brewster ("Snooze-ter"), Pennsylvania, with their parents. The parents, who are scientists, are secretive about the work they're doing, and the kids decide to investigate. Hurley exuberantly portrays the pair as they evade security to enter an alien city that defies science as we know it and will potentially change the course of human history. Listeners will be captivated by the brainy kids whose clever ideas help them cope with uncommon challenges, credible-sounding scientists, and the growing tension when someone is seriously injured. Helpful mini-science lessons add interest and explain a rousing conclusion. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2017]
