An Ethan Sparks Adventure

Book Cover & Preview Text
Abruptly, the bus screeched to a halt. A huge herd of goats blocked the narrow, razor-sharp path they called a road here in Santorini, Greece. It didn’t even have an inch of shoulder, just a sheer drop-off that went straight down to the Aegean Sea. And if I opened the window on the other side and reached out, I could touch the mountain. The road was literally carved out of the cliffs. Suddenly the bus teetered precariously. I flung the window open. My head popped out of its shell like an alarmed tortoise; then bug-eyed, I stared down at the back wheel of the bus. It was off the edge of the demented cliff. Either the goats were going down – or us. And it didn’t look like it would be the goats.

About the Book
From the moment Ethan Sparks lands on the Greek Island of Santorini, he thinks his assignment for The Young Explorer Magazine is a bad joke. The thirteen-year-old reporter is covering his dad’s latest archaeological dig—and it’s a weird one. A modern-day oracle in Delphi has uttered that Poseidon’s Trident really exists. Now Ethan’s father believes the Trident is buried in a volcanic ledge under the Aegean Sea. Dr. Sparks wants to use the latest underwater archaeology equipment to find the Trident, but his usual backers refuse to fund such a ridiculous expedition. When Spiros, a wacko billionaire, comes up with the cash, Ethan wants to know why. In his investigation with his new friend, Nico, the junior spies uncover a secret organization that would sooner kill the boys than let them reveal the truth. It will take a lot more than Ethan's spy-guy skills to escape being shark bait.
