Journey to Atlantis
Philip Roy
- Reading
- Read in short stages, pausing after major hazards to ask what Alfred knows, guesses or risks. Before the final chapters, invite predictions about Atlantis without promising a clear discovery or extended exploration.
- Themes
- Adventure and resourcefulness: Alfred travels in a homemade submarine and faces a series of practical emergencies while trying to remain safe. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Searching for the unknown: Alfred and his companions cross two seas in search of the fabled island of Atlantis, which he approaches near the end. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to fear and suspense.
