An adventure beneath the earth’s surface

An adventure packed with thrills, humor and surprise
On a field-trip to an advanced scientific pod, Tulip and Noonie find themselves beneath the earth’s surface. Deep underground, they slowly uncover the true source of earthquakes, and how the ancient legend is linked to the real environmental dangers facing the planet.
A fantastic voyage into the earth's belly
In their journey they encounter mythical animals, magnificent sights, great dangers and a world that blends imagination and reality. Together with their companions – a kind-hearted crustacean and a humanoid mindreading computer – they must learn to cooperate and rely on each other if they want to survive… and save the world.
Two children on a mission to save the planet
Will Tulip and Noonie overcome the dangers lurking in the Magma Sea, deep in the belly of the Earth? Will they escape the Monster Crab and the cruel mutants?

MY REVIEW
In 2050, the
Earthquake Prediction Research Center created what they called LavaCat. It was
a type of vehicle that could penetrate the earth’s crust. They were planning on
using it to explore and try to find out what actually causes earthquakes. Chief
Engineer David Adam was to navigate the first expedition but the trip was
cancelled and the future of the project left in limbo. During a tour of the
facility, the LavaCat experiences a glitch causing it to depart with David’s
children, Tulip and Noonie aboard, headed for the earth’s core. It seems the
expedition is a go after all. Tulip and Noonie are too excited to be scared but
as they get deeper inside the earth, and start interacting with weird,
dangerous creatures, they discover the journey is not as fun as they thought it
was.
I would have
liked this book a lot more if I could have followed the descriptions and
explanations of what was happening. It was hard to comprehend. I know sisters
and brothers argue and get on each other’s nerves, but the constant bickering
between these two had me wanting to stop reading, as it was total aggravation.
It also seemed to me that the two were figuring things out that should have
been beyond their scope of learning for their age.
