Shinji Takahashi: Into the Heart of the Storm (The Society of Explorers and Adventurers)

Description

The Disney Parks' best kept secret (society) is now a romping middle grade adventure series from New York Times bestselling author Julie Kagawa! Shinji Takahashi has learned a lot as a member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers—like how to scale a cliff with nothing but some rope and good luck, or how to outsmart a serpent warrior in the middle of the jungle. One thing he hasn’t learned, however, is how to control his newfound guardian magic, or what this magic means for him. After members of S.E.A. learn that a sunken ship belonging to the long-extinct Natia people has been found on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, Shinji and his friends head off to check out the wreckage, hoping to get there before the Hightower Corporation can plunder the site. But when Shinji accidentally awakens a guardian who’s been trapped inside a volcano for a century, it causes a volcanic eruption and releases a massive hurricane that threatens the entire coast of California. Now Shinji must learn to control his powers and best his fears so that he can stop the destruction and regain the trust of S.E.A. before it’s too late. To do so, he must head into the heart of the storm. Review: Quite the Page Turner - A good follow up to the first book. Kagawa is a master at blending modern technology, fantastical elements, humor, and adventure! Really looking for to the next installment. Review: fantastic sequel from Kagawa - Shinji Takahashi is off on another adventure with Lucy and Tinker. The second in the series of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers is just as action packed as the first novel. Once again, Shinji is faced with another guardian that he's accidentally made mad. Lucy and Shinji have to figure out how to save the world from the mythological Storm Boar without being destroyed in the process. Overall, it was a very well written book. The characters are continuing to develop and I can't wait to see what adventures they will have to face next. Julie Kagawa definitely hit this one out of the park.
