City Of the Golden Sun
Sequel to The Fisherman's Son

By Marilyn Peake

    In The Fisherman's Son, Wiley O'Mara has rescued a group of boys from the mysterious Ancient City beneath the sea. Now they are with Wiley near his home, where he must figure out how to explain their presence and to integrate the boys into life on dry land.

       The boys want to revisit their homes beneath the ocean to see their parents, but it's not that easy. They contact Elden, the wonderful dolphin who was paramount in their rescue, and ask for his help to go back to the underwater world. Elden agrees, and the grand adventure begins. How exciting to ride on the back of a dolphin beneath the water! The underwater sights and sounds are exciting, but the reunion with their parents is all they hoped it would be. It's as though they never left. Wiley is immersed in the daily life of the ancient city and really experiences the glory of the City of the Golden Sun. But they can't stay; they must go back to the island above the sea.

      The City of the Golden Sun is a magnificent fantasy, coupled with exciting adventure that will keep your pre-teen reading. Peake's extensive research shows in this wonderful rendition of the Atlantis theory and it will fuel the imagination of its young readers.

      This series would be great for family read-aloud time. Everyone will want to participate.
