Hunters of the Lost City by Kali Wallace
4.0
Make reading fun.
Make it an adventure.
A sorcerer’s war.
A web of lies.
A dangerous secret.
Fifty years after the war, twelve-year-old Octavia grew up believing that her town, Vittoria, was the only one left in the world. When she meets Sima, another young girl from the southern climes who saves her life, her whole world becomes upended. Featuring a mountainous landscape, fearsome monsters, and action-packed adventures, Hunters of the Lost City by Kali Wallace is a debut middle grade that is coming April 2022.
Thanks to @quirkbooks Super Secret Middle Grade Book Club, James and Catlynn had the opportunity to read and review it early. Full disclosure, I read it aloud while they followed along because we haven’t quite reached this level of solo reading yet- it’s recommended reading age is 10-13. This kind of middle grade adventure story makes for a great read aloud experience, and provides great discussion points to have with children.
Enough from me, here’s what the kids thought:
James liked all of the cool characters, and his favorite is Sima because she is the best at archery. He describes the book as magical, adventurous, and inspiring. James would recommend this to a friend because it’s a fun adventure story.
Catlynn liked that it was a fantasy adventure book. I can’t share her favorite character because of spoilers! She would describe the story has magical, inspiring, and scary. It reminded her of Voyage of the Frostheart by Jamie Littler, another favorite read-aloud. Catlynn would recommend it to a friend because it’s exciting and inspiring.
James and Catlynn highly recommend you check it out!
