Summary :
The adventure
continues as Jack and his friends travel to the Hanging Gardens of
Babylon in the pulse-pounding second title in the Seven Wonders series.
With
Marco gone and the first Loculus lost, Jack, Cass, and Ally are no
closer to saving themselves (or the world) than when they first arrived
at the Karai Institute. But when Bhegad tracks down Marco deep in the
desert, the kids are off on the next leg of their quest-to the ancient
city of Babylon. There the kids find themselves faced with a daunting
choice that makes them question everything they've learned so far. It's a
gut wrenching decision, but what the kids don't realize is that it's
also a trap. Surprises pile on surprises until a long-lost figure from
Jack's past returns, and the kids find themselves forced to engineer an
escape that might just turn out to be a different kind of trap
altogether....
A very nice sequel! Compared to the
first one, this book has more twists, more dangerous adventures, and definitely
more fantastic plot. I couldn’t choose which book is better, since both of them
has their own pros and cons.
