Seven Wonders Book 2: Lost in Babylon audiobook

For most of the book, I expected to give it 3 stars. And I would have, but I loved the last chapter. If you read it, don't cheat.

“Lost in Babylon”By Alex KI read the book “Lost in Babylon” by Peter Lerangis. It is the second book in a series called The Seven Wonders. It was a very suspenseful book, and it had lots of action. I would recommend this book to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. I would recommend this book because of the following reasons: it was suspenseful, had an easy story to follow, and it had an unexpected turn towards the end. I felt this book was very interesting, and it was a page turner. I could not stop reading this book after I picked it up. That is why I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. One of the main reasons I would recommend “Lost in Babylon” is because it was very suspenseful. The suspense was built through constant action and vivid descriptions. Peter Lerangis shows descriptive action when he writes, “From all around us, the high pitched chittering screams came closer. Marco moved the torch quickly left to right.The walls of the Hanging Gardens were black with swiftly moving shadows, long limbed and monkey like.” I liked this specific excerpt because it displays what the action was like throughout the book. The second reason I enjoyed this book was because it has a good storyline. I thought the storyline of this book was enjoyable because it was simple, interesting, and easy to follow. The story was all about the search for Atlantis, the hidden island, and how a Prince split Atlantis’ power into 7 pieces called the Loculos. The main character, Jack, meets 3 other people similar to him on a secret island. They are like him because they are distant relatives of the Prince of Atlantis. Now they have to find the Loculos. I enjoyed the book because the storyline grabbed my attention and made me keep reading.The third reason I liked “Lost in Babylon” was because it has an unexpected plot twist. If you do not want this book to be spoiled, do not read this paragraph. The plot twist was extremely unexpected and interesting. Unlike most books I read that have a plot twist, which do not fit in the story, this one fits into the story perfectly. The plot twist happened late in the book when Marco switches over to the bad side, also known as the Massa. This big shift in the storyline leads his friends to feel betrayed and no longer trust him. Because of the three reasons I have provided, I would highly recommend this book to my friends.

Im so mad at Marco

Complete Review can be found here: Three Blank PagesThree words. I. Love. It. You know an author is doing something right when you just have to stay up late at night to finish a book. And that’s what I just did. And I crave for more.And I agree, this was definitely better than the first book. If you are looking for some action packed, humorous and clean read, this one is definitely good for you :D

** spoiler alert ** - This book was about: Jack must go to Babylon and find the second loculus, but when Marco brings Jack, Cass, and Aly to the river, the other side brings utter confusion.- My Favorite Character in this book was: Jacks mom because of the HUGE twist ending.- I Liked this book because: It was a great mixture of past and present. It has both futuristic stuff combine with ancient places.- I didn't like this book because: The huge cliffhanger... I cant wait for the next one!!- You should read this book if you like a mixture of superpowers, surprises, and ancient things.

Lost in Babylon is the second book in the Seven Wonders series written by Peter Lerangis and illustrated by Torstein Norstrand. Jack McKinley seeks the second of seven stolen Loculi of Atlantis, magical orbs planted in each one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.Jack McKinley, Aly Black, Cass Williams, and Marco Ramsay are genetic time bombs – a gene within them will kill them at age fourteen if they don't find the seven Loculi. This time the quartet is now searching for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.The foursome faces a giant lizard-monster, monkeylike creatures with lethal spit and a cloaked apparition with one shining eye. What they hadn't bargained for is a conflict over which secret organization they should be working for – the Karai Institute or the group of fanatic monks from Greece.Lost in Babylon is written rather well. The narrative is slow at first, but becomes an Indiana Jones-like style adventure into ancient Babylon. The conflict adds complexity to the tale and the final sentence holds a huge surprise, which will excite readers about the next installment.All in all, Lost in Babylon is written rather well and is a good continuation to what would hopefully be a wonderful series, which I plan to continue in the very near future.

it was a top-notch book. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an adventure.

After I finished the first book of the "Seven Wonders" series by Peter Lerangis, I couldn't stop myself from purchasing this book on my Kindle. It was just too tempting to not read the second book of this series because of the huge cliffhanger in the last book. We picked up right where we left off, and the action continues. First off, the four main characters are Jack, Aly, Marco, and Cass. They're descendants of Atlantis and they have to find seven items, located in the Seven Wonders of the world. In this book, they goto the ancient city of Babylon, and try to find their item. The pace of this book is great. A lot of action, suspense, and thrillers that I loved. This book has such a similar writing style to Percy Jackson, that I think it's written by Rick Riordan. It was so hard to put down because there was so much suspense and every single time you want to put the book down, you stop yourself. The plot's great. Funny, suspenseful, and exciting! Last time I remember a book like this, it was in the "Heroes of Olympus" series. But one big question awaits, who can the kids trust? The Karai institue? The one that helped Jack in his friends in the first book? Or the Massa side, who Jack dreamed as the good side in this book? Marco's convinced that Massa will help them but his other friends aren't so sure. The book left us with a huge cliffhanger, and left me in a question mood. I had so many questions at the end of the book that I just wanted to jump in to the next book right away. Overall, I loved this book, and I recommend this book to anyone who loves the "Percy Jackson" and the "Heroes of Olympus" series! You will definitely enjoy this book.

I read the first two books in this Seven Wonders series with my eight-year-old son and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Rick Riordan's "high-octane" comment was right on the mark - plenty of action to keep us both flipping Kindle pages and not wanting to stop for little things like bedtime, school, work...The voice of the story, Jack, is a very sympathetic character, modest and witty. His friends Marco, Aly, and Cass add a lot of humor, angst, and intrigue to the storyline. The story itself has been a fun adventure through both books, with plenty of twists and turns to validate the seat belt sign. But who can the kids trust? That's the big mystery that has us dangling over the end of book 2, anxiously waiting to dive into book 3 which won't be out until spring. My son died a little (fabulous drama) when I told him how long he'd have to wait.This is a great series, reminiscent of Riordan's Percy Jackson, Heros of Olympus, and Kane Chronicles. Wonderful for young readers but with enough there for even an old person like me to enjoy. I highly recommend it!

"A problem that seems unsolvable always looks different in the light of a new day."Lost in Babylon, the second book of Seven Wonders series, is better than the first book, although I have read the ‘The Colossus Rises’ twice. It was dull on the beginning but when I got the grip of the story, I can't stop myself from turning page after page.The story started from where the first book ended, the search for Marco and the flying Loculus. It had been hard for Aly, Cass and Jack and for the KI people but they managed to survive. And when they found Marco, there has been a lot of discoveries where the real adventures began. I must say that Jack's character had improved the most among the four of them. He had a lot of confidence in the story than in Colossus Rises. And the ending! My goodness. It was a shock and I really wanted to buy the next three books now but I'm broke.As I said, Seven Wonders is the book you wanted to read if you're looking for something like Percy Jacksonish story! And oh, I love Torquin!

In the book lost in babylon by peter lerangis it is the second book in his series, the story line is good, but it lacks geography it doesn't tell you where they are other than BABYLON. the story line is easy to follow, plus it teaches you a little history about babylon while keeping you engaged in the book at the same time! i would reccomend it to anyone who likes humorous and action packed stories. but you have to read the first one though! i will continue the series because of the great cliffhanger at the end, i dont want to spoil it though
