Terrortide by Michael Adams
The Seven Signs book 6. Scholastic, 2017. ISBN 9781743628065
(Age: 13+) Recommended. Themes: Adventure; Danger; Sydney,
Australia; Futuristic adventure. Book 6 in the Seven Signs series is
as terror and suspense-filled as the previous five books in the
series. The young DARE award winners are yet again plunged into
horrific circumstances as they race to save the World from the
actions of the Gamemaster. This unknown and mysterious figure has
sent more images to solve via their hi-tech futuristic communication
devices, and impels all of the seven teens into more
life-threatening scenarios - this time with Sydney, Australia as the
potential target. With one catastrophe leading immediately into
another, it is not surprising that they author ends this penultimate
book of the episodic series on a cliff-hanger ending (or perhaps
more accurately - hanging on by our fingernails).
Readers will be desperate to find out what comes next (very clever
marketing strategy!) and solving the ultimate puzzle as to who is
behind this reprehensible series of awful events, and to see whether
the young teens can be heroic yet again and save the world from
destruction. Or is it too late?
Recommended to adventure junkies aged 13+.
