Summary: Not Just Another Adventure
Comment: Finally, a book for kids has been written that is more than just your average adventure. I am 13 years old, and this is one of the first books I've read that realizes that readers my age can deal with serious issues.

This book really made me think about ethics and the environment. When Julia, Jack, Conor, and Qav were debating whether to use a gun, I asked myself what I would do in the situation. I've never felt more involved in a book.

Apart from these heavy topics, the story of Land of the Lost Mammoths is really exciting! Before they know it, the characters are thrust into non-stop adventure. I couldn't put it down!

Summary: A 12 year old reviewer
Comment: I thought this book had a great plot. It was a lot like a movie that I saw a while ago which I really enjoyed. The writing is descriptive and informative and gives necessary in depth details about the characters and plot. The book is about four kids who are supposed to be the best science kids in the world. They go to a science workshop in Greenland and meet a scientist who takes them on a search for mammoths. I won't tell you what happens because that would spoil the story, but I do recommend this book for people who like science adveture stories.

Summary: Intoxicating Land of Magic and Mystery
Comment: Although deservedly touted as a "Science Adventure," Mike Davis's novel is much more than this. Certainly one of the most unique features of Davis's novel is its ability to stimulate further reading and interest in the geography and history of Greenland and the science and technology of Arctic exploration. However, "Land of the Lost Mammoths" also imagines a land of magic and mystery, of places that cannot be named and of persons that give name to dreams.

As the first in an anticipated series of adventures, Davis's novel is engrossing, imaginative, and magical. His trio of male and female protagonists (Julia, Conor, Jack and Qav) are inspiring not only for their accomplishments, but for their response to the discovery of a lost world. Moreover, Julia and Davis's rejection of traditional "damsel in distress" adventure scenarios in the course of the novel is inspired. Davis has clearly offered a novel that will appeal to the imaginations of readers of all ages.
