Enter Bartlett--the intrepid, stubborn, inventive and irreverent explorer who makes a deal with the Queen. He will return with the elusive melidrop if she will fund his expedition to The Margoulis Caverns--the longest, deepest chain of caves ever found. And the race is on.
Bartlett and the Voyage is a rip-roaring, fantastical, roller-coaster of an adventure story which fairly brims over with the kind of bombastic wit and rollicking suspense that captures the imagination of a young reader and leads them, laughing and breathless, through the pages, leaving them begging for more.
A fine example of good, old-fashioned storytelling at its very best, Bartlett and the Voyage is a sure-fire winner for any child who really enjoys losing themselves between the pages of a book. (Age 10 and over) -- Susan Harrison
