In the third and final installment of this action-packed middle grade series, a twelve-year-old descendant of Jules Verne's famous antihero must face down giant sea serpents and solve a centuries-old mystery, armed only with his wits, his friends, and his Nemotech submarine.
Jason Henderson, author of the Young Captain Nemo series, is a regular speaker on media and entertainment. His popular podcasts "Castle Talk" and "Castle of Horror" feature interviews and discussion panels made up of best-selling writers and artists from all genres. His young adult series, Alex Van Helsing, was named by the Texas Library Association to the 2011 Lone Star Reading List. He also writes for games and comics. Henderson lives in Colorado with his wife and two daughters.
"The second aquatic adventure in this series starts its action on page one and keeps the stakes high and the adventure swimming along... a solid story set in a very original and specific undersea world full of gizmos and submarine vessels, and it can be enjoyed on its own merit with or without reading book one." --Booklist Online on Quest for the Nautilus "Once again, Henderson has readers diving into the ocean's depths on an adventure-packed quest with Gabriel and his crew. It's fantastic to see a story in which friends not only communicate well but also help one another "work the problem" as issues arise on their search for the infamous Nautilus. ... Gabriel and his crew will please seafaring science nerds or anyone seeking a new group of characters to love." --School Library Journal on Quest for the Nautilus "There's both futuristic and classic steampunk appeal here, admirably mixing Jules Verne lore with 007-level gadgetry. Stakes are high, the pace is fast, and there are excellent (and surprisingly subtle) messages of coping with childhood loneliness and the importance of taking care of our planet's oceans." --Booklist on Young Captain Nemo "Fractured retelling of 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA...that will have Jules Verne fans geeking out.... However, a reader who's never even heard of The Nautilus will devour this timely STEM / sci-fi adventure story." -- KidLit Underground on Young Captain Nemo
