Publisher's Summary:
Athena Crowley is an ordinary 11-year-old girl who lives in an extraordinary place: a resort hotel in the Bahamas. Her father is the marine archeologist who discovered the Mythical Lost City of Atlantis, for which the hotel is named. Athenas mother was lost years ago when a freak whirlpool took her away. Athena goes to school, rides the water slides, and helps out at the hotels dolphin encounter a fairly normal life.
But everything changes the day an old turtle starts talking to her, and Athena realizes that she can communicate with sea creatures. Determined to understand her roots, Athena takes a risky journey to the undersea kingdom of Atlantica, where mer-people rule, humans are slaves, and dangerous and thrilling surprises await her.

Members Reviews:
My daughter LOVES this book! One of her favorites!
My daughter (age 9) loves this book. She could hardly put it down when reading it. The illustrations are great, too. Great book!
9 year olds will love this book!!
I love this book because it that it made me feel like I was in the same adventure as a Athena and I loved all the details in the pictures.
Disappointed with back cover
The only thing I didn't like was the mermaid picture on the back outside cover. If I had seen this detail to start with, I would not have purchased this book. The hair didn't cover enough of the breast area and I don't think it is appropriate or necessary for anyone, much less an 11 year old granddaughter. I thought the story was very good so I put on a swim top with a permanent marker before we gave it to her.The Girl From Atlantis
Great read from 7 thru early teens!
I ordered this book for all of the kids in my extended family. My 12 year old niece could not put the book down until it was finished! She loved it! The other childre range from 7 to 10, and were not only loving the story, but the illustrations as well!
Great book,
A Fun Adventure
My Summary: Ever since Athena Crowley was young, she's always loved the water and had the natural ability to stay afloat. Yet, as she grows older, Athena can't remember life with her mother, who was lost in a terrible accident at sea. Luckily, she's always had her supportive and caring father, Robert, around.
But now, when Athena's father goes off on a business trip, eleven-year-old Athena finally discovers a reason for why she always hear an annoying buzzing sound whenever she plunges below the ocean water's surface: she can hear and talk with sea creatures. With a helpful sea turtle and an adventerous spirit, Athena embarks on a journey to Atlantis, and what she finds there may change her life completely.
Review: Sweet and fun, The Girl From Atlantis is perfect for a light, summer read for those of you who enjoy middle grade novels.
Athena is spunky and fearless, I'm definitely envious of the girl! She's adventurous, and she's always had a talent of working with sea animals, as well as an unusual natural ability in water.
