(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

Growing up on Atlantis was perfect; the children and dolphins had loads of fun together, but the secret they were hiding eventually destroyed the city, which plunged beneath the waves. Now centuries have passed and the modern world has largely forgotten how it used to be, apart from a few people who are determined to track down the powerful Atlantis Star. Jacob Eldis and his father travel to the Bahamas to spy on Maddy, CJ and their dolphin, Indigo, all descendants of the last Atlantans, hoping that they'll lead them to the fabled Atlantis Star. As Jacob struggles with loyalty to his father, and CJ and Maddy begin to understand what is at stake, a story of great adventure and danger unfolds.

What should have been a really good story was lost on some poor editing...

The connection between the kids and the dolphins was the most powerful element of this story. The world-building started well but left a little bit up in the air. Other elements of the story - pacing, characters, and plot - were all pretty decent but nothing that really made me want to recommend this to anyone.

Finally, this book could use some editing. Even the blurb had grammar mistakes (I edited them so I didn't look like a complete fool!) The book could have improved if some of the basic stuff could have been rectified before going to print.
