4.5
2024 reread:
A nearly perfect classic adventure story, featuring a teen boy who is straightforward and uncomplicated in his heroicness and determination, an extremely intelligent and spunky young girl, along with a heavy sprinkling of interesting science facts.
I wouldn't recommend this for very young readers because the last section has some heavy subject matter along with assumptions of evolutionary theory. Some middle grade readers might love this though, as long as they can handle the tense/scary adventure parts.
