Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Atlantis was a really interesting take on a common story. Instead of focusing solely on the discovery of the underwater world, we got a focus on both sides. The writing was very descriptive, and because both of the groups were seeing each other for the first time, we got well-explained descriptors for everyone's appearance. The underwater world and the way their homes worked was unique, as well as cars and technology. I found the science behind these stories really interesting and realistic as well. However, the pacing for this was not as exciting as I would have expected. I think from a middle-grade standpoint, this book could be used in science classes to explain a lot of different things: from audio technology to radio waves, how evolution works, and oceanic creatures. The ending also left us with a bit of a cliffhanger, and I will admit that I am extremely interested to find out what it means!
