our son lived this book when he was 8 year old...a great mix of susupense & magic, and fantasy, but for the younger lot.

Exciting and addictive science-fiction series for third and fourth grade readers. Second graders have enjoyed the books as read-alouds too!
An earthquake has brought a piece of the past back to life! It's a wicked city called Tarkoom, full of sneaky bandits with a plan to upset present day Droon. Eric, Neal, and Julie need to travel back in time to put the city in its place. It won't be easy - but the kids know someone who can help make Tarkoom history.
this book is an adventure. i loved this book while i was in 2nd and 3rd grade
