Picked this up because the title was evocative and the cover was pretty much blank - the book was a first edition, belonging to my grand-uncle - and was briefly disappointed upon discovering it was a childrens' book but read it anyway. I'm glad I did - it's really quite good for what it is. A fun read, and the illustrations are terrific.
Let me correct myself: the author is the duo writing team of Jon Jefferson and Dr. Bill Bass. This story was a work of fiction based on fact. The scientific part of it is true, but apparently the storyline was completely fabricated. It was an enjoyable book and I will probably read more from this series.
