Atlantis Star is a captivating dual-time novel that readers aged 8-14 will love. Uniting elements of mythology, wildlife and environmental issues in one gripping story, Imogen Tovey has created an alternative Atlantis; a mythical city where dolphins and humans live side-by-side in harmony, protecting a powerful secret, the Atlantis Star.

As Jacob struggles with loyalty to his father, and CJ and Maddy begin to understand what is at stake, a story of great adventure and danger unfolds...
