With elements reminiscent of The Hobbit and Harry Potter, the pace and variety of challenges carry the reader along to a surprising and satisfying conclusion. -Larry Luxenberg, author of Walking the Appalachian Trail
PW Cross knows what his readers will like-hidden worlds, crazy characters, and danger! -Tim Grundmann, an author of Disney's Doug Chronicles Series
With the sudden appearance of a strange man, a lonely boy's life is about to change forever. How he reacts and what he does will affect the future of the world.
He travels with the stranger to the Land of Lights: a world full of seers, dwarfs, elves, bloodthirsty trolls, and crazed giants. There, he joins an expedition with an ageless seer, two feisty dwarfs, and his long-lost best friend.
Together they face many hardships on their quest to find and challenge a crazed giant, in their search for a hidden gusher- a massive glowing sphere that holds an as-yet unthought-of world altering idea.
If they fail in their task, our world will face an uncertain and drastically altered future.
While the story is full of trials and danger, The Idea Miners-The Lost Lake Dig is also a story of hope and encouragement for the world and our future. On the surface, it's a fantasy adventure, but underneath flows a stream of world-altering ideas that will instill in readers of all ages an appreciation for the unique gift and power of the human intellect-something we should all be thankful for.
I especially enjoyed the historical fiction that is woven into The Lost Lake Dig. By providing historical facts in association with the ideas contained within the squirts and gushers, Cross has found a unique way to teach our youth about history while keeping their interest at the same time. -Julina K. Small for Armchair Interviews
If you're up for an adventure, this book is guaranteed to thrill you. It's nothing like anything you've ever read before. This is a great, entertaining book for readers of all ages. -Erin Doran for Allbooks Reviews
