Title: Seven Wonders, Book 1: The Colossus Rises

Author: Peter Lerangis

Narrator: Johnathan McClain

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 1 min

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

One boy

Jack McKinley is an ordinary kid with an extraordinary problem: In a few months, he's going to die.

One Mission

Jack needs to find seven magic loculi that, when combined, have the power to cure him.

One Problem

The loculi are the relics of a lost civilization and haven't been seen in thousands of years.

Seven Wonders

Because they're hidden in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The thrills begin in The Colossus Rises, the first installment in the epic seven-book adventure series Seven Wonders, from master storyteller and best-selling 39 Clues series author Peter Lerangis. The highly anticipated series has received early praise from Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series, who says, "A high-octane mix of modern adventure and ancient secrets, The Colossus Rises is Lerangis's most gripping work yet. Young readers will love this story. I can't wait to see what's next in the Seven Wonders series!"

Members Reviews:

A strong start for the series

Peter Lerangis's first book in the series has me looking forward to the following books. Jack and his three friends are likable characters. The plot was interesting with its plot twists and the interaction between the protagonists. The narrator did a fine job with this book. This should be liked by readers who enjoy the 39 clues books.

Good book for Riordan fans

Audible reviews are pretty much crap, so see my Amazon review. I can't submit my full review here for some reason. Basically, this book has great potential and is a fun read, with mostly good narration, but suffers from convenient but unlikely plot devices, flat characters, and not enough realistic intelligence and rationality.

It's still worth checking out though, and convinced me to read the rest of the series.

A solid book for sure

I'm judging this for itself, and not for it's part in the series.

The main characters are believable and relatable. I can certainly understand Jack's lack of self confidence as the story progresses. I was a little disappointed that one of the four's return was so predicable, but I can't blame them for wanting to show a bit of physical proof of the power they were talking about. The either drip fed twists and shocking revelations expertly from beginning to end. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next book soon.

I wanted to like it but the performance was awful

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

For a young adult book the adventure and action was exciting; however, the performance of the audio book was beyond awful! Halfway through I couldn't take it any more and deleted it from my ipod. I picked up the book in hard copy from the library to finish the story. I would not purchase any titles by that narrator again.

the voices

narrator was VERY distracting. the professor and allie's voice was sooooo.....

also, even though marco and jack are 13 year olds, that pitch was too highly exaggerated for male teenagers.

It's been six months since Kate, Michael, and Emma confronted the Dire Magnus, but the trail to their long-missing parents remains cold. Then Michael and Emma find a man who saw them ten years ago - three days after they disappeared. He knows about a map of a distant land, a place shrouded in mystery that may lead them to their parents.

Meanwhile, Kate's connection to the Book of Time is growing stronger and stronger, until a dangerous trick gets her stuck in the past, searching for a friend to help her.

Only a perilous quest and a daring risk will help the children to harness the power of the Books of Beginning. But will it be enough to save them?

Critic Reviews:

"Irreverent humor and swashbuckling adventure collide in a fetching fantasy." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Great follow up to the Emerald Atlas

In this second installment of the Books of Beginning, Kate, Michael and Emma have been sent to the Edgar Allen Poe Home for Children for their safety while Dr. Pym takes care of some needed tasks.

It isn't long until the whereabouts of the children is discovered, forcing them to flee. Kate ends up going back in time and becoming trapped, while Michael and Emma remain in the present, searching for the Book of Life, known as the Fire Chronicle.

While at times you will be reminded of Harry Potter, this story does set itself apart and is very entertaining in its own right. Narrated by Jim Dale, whose performance is flawless, as I've come to expect. Listening to Dale is like being tucked in to bed with an epic adventure about to begin.

The second child ascendant

What made the experience of listening to The Fire Chronicle the most enjoyable?

Jim Dale's reading! Michael's growing maturity!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Michael & Emma

Which scene was your favorite?

Michael tricking the dragon

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Michael reviving his sister

Any additional comments?

One of the best children's books in many years. Better than Fablehaven, Maximum flight or Percy Jackson. My son is riveted.

Great series!

I love this series! Jim Dale is a great narrator and does a phenomenal job with this already epic story! This is fantasy at its finest.

GREAT for a Book 2 of a trilogy

Any additional comments?

The 2nd book of any Trilogy has a tendency to lack significant action/conclusion on account of needing to set up a lot of plot line for the big finale--- but this book was different. The story really took on a character of its own with the kids going in different directions including in time and space. This story added a lot of depth to the series which was lacking a bit in the first book--- the plot line of the Emerald Atlas being a bit more whimsical. This is a great series for kids of the Harry Potter age group because although there is danger, death, and betrayal the stories maintain an underlying sense of humor/bewilderment and are very enjoyable.

Even better than the first!

The first book was good but the second book is better. Jim Dale killed it on narrating the story. So many cliff-hangers! On to book 3

Nikki Maxwell develops a sudden interest in student journalism that may or may not (okay, definitely does) have to do with the fact that mean girl Mackenzie has started writing a gossip column.

Publisher's Summary:

A California earthquake sends Dorothy Gale and her new friends--Zeb the farm boy, Jim the cab-horse, and Eureka the mischievous kitten--tumbling through a crack in the ground. Deep beneath the earth, Dorothy is reunited with her old friend the Wizard of Oz and his troupe of nine tiny piglets.

Together, Dorothy, the Wizard, and their friends travel through many fantastic lands, where they encounter the Mangaboos, people growing like vegetables in the ground; cross the Valley of Voe, where dama-fruit has turned everyone invisible; and are captured by mysterious flying Gargoyles. At last, the intrepid travelers reach Oz, where they have many unforgettable encounters with such favorites as the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger, Princess Ozma and the wooden Sawhorse.

Editorial Reviews:

The fourth book in the Oz series finds Dorothy Gale and her friends tumbling through a crack in the ground after an earthquake hits California. Narrator Claire Bronson's performance is approachable and warm, and she moves through the story at a brisk pace without sacrificing clarity. Dorothy reunites with the Wizard of Oz and his troupe of nine piglets, and the group embarks on a series of adventures that sees them tangling with a race of vegetable people, visiting a valley with invisible inhabitants, and escaping from wooden gargoyles. This audiobook is an ideal choice for listeners looking for fun children's entertainment.

Stay away from girls named Gale

Originally posted, with appropriate formatting and links, at Fantasy Literature.

If you happen to know Dorothy Gale, let me advise you to stay away from her. The girl attracts natural disasters like shes some sort of magnet. This time, its an earthquake. Dorothy and her cousin Zeb are traveling on a wagon in California when it strikes. Down they go into a big crack in the earth and keep falling until they land in a city made of glass buildings. There are several clues that they have entered a fairy realm: Zebs horse (Jim) and Dorothys kitten (Eureka) can suddenly talk, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (who was also in California) shows up with nine tiny piglets in his pocket, and the inhabitants of the city turn out to be made of vegetable matter. Dorothy and her friends cant get out of the earth the way they came, so they decide to try to walk to Oz where they know theyll be welcome.

First they are nearly killed while trying to fight their way past the vegetable people. Then they are nearly killed when they travel through a land where the inhabitants eat a fruit that makes them invisible so they dont get eaten by the local bears. Then they get captured and nearly killed by wooden gargoyles. Finally they make it to Oz where Dorothy introduces her traveling companions to all of her old friends and the reader gets to spend time with their favorite Oz characters (Ozma, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Billina, Hungry Tiger, Sawhorse, Woggle-bug, etc.).

There are some continuity problems with Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz. At the end of the last book (Ozma of Oz), we are told:

it was arranged that every Saturday morning Ozma would look at Dorothy in her magic picture, wherever the little girl might chance to be.
