National Geographic The Falcon’s Feather

I bought the first three books in the series as my son, who has his ups and downs with reading since there are so many distractions (xbox, I am looking at you). He devoured all the first three and asked if there were any more! I got the last two and they lasted three days. He loves these books and actually reads them instead of watching TV, playing xbox, or looking at the iPad. I have also read them so that we can discuss the content. Overall, these books are engaging for an 11 year old, filled with neat and futuristic tech, and a compelling story. A must read for an inquisitive mind. Definitely a winner.

Includes many real world science and technology facts, my 11 year old son loved it.

My son said that he really enjoyed this book.

Entertaining full of suspens science inside but without teaching lesson: it's first of all a great story about bright teenagers on a quest my 10 year old and l love the series

The Falcon's Feather picks up right where its predecessor left off: Cruz and his fellow students are aboard the Orion for their semester at sea with the Explorer Academy.This book is so great for kids. It is a wild and action-packed adventure that kids (and parents) will love. I bought this for my 11 year grandson, and he simply loves this series. ( Now I read it too so we can discuss it ). One of the exciting developments that I liked in The Falcon's Feather, is that we are given a firsthand glimpse of the villain's plans, and we find out that a student is working for them!All kids will be able to relate to the characters, will get immersed in the science and will love traveling the world. The storytelling and the background messages make for a thrilling and timely novel once again.
