Atlantis Star

Atlantis Star is a captivating dual-time novel that readers aged 8-14 will love. Uniting elements of mythology, wildlife and environmental issues in one gripping story, Imogen Tovey has created an alternative Atlantis; a mythical city where dolphins and humans live side-by-side in harmony, protecting a powerful secret; the Atlantis Star.

'I've interacted with a number of lone, wild dolphins who appeared to crave the company of humans and I asked myself why this might be. Why do some dolphins choose to live such solitary lives?' asks Imogen. 'Thinking about how dolphins and humans interact and how we impact on the oceans was the starting point for Atlantis Star.'

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 descendents of the last Atlantans, hoping that theyll 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.

'I hope readers enjoy the adventure elements of the book but I also hope they take away a new respect for dolphins,' adds Imogen.
