Secrets of the Deep (The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 5)

Great books. Nine in total. Would recommend everybody should read.I am now on book six. If you like Harry Potter you will enjoy these books. 100%AWESOME.

Arrived fast, loved this book, all the books are amazing, I bought them for my Sonbut I thought he was a bit young at 8, except for the Christmas one, I started reading themand can't put them down, if ever there was a set of books to make into a movie it would bethis set, can't wait for the last one.

With a war on the horizon and the dark druids more intent than ever to get to Jake, he and his friends are sent to his Aunt's "out of the way" house! They are eager to have a nice quiet holiday, but as usual, trouble seems to find them! This time in the form of a royal mermaid, Princess Sapphira, daughter of King Nereus. She found a rare and powerful artifact that came from Atlantis and accidentally activated it. She quickly shut it off but not before the powerful magic was felt by some nefarious water folk. Word made it's way to Davy Jones and he wants the artifact badly!! So badly that he invades her fathers kingdom and takes her little sister hostage. But Sapphira hides the thing and goes in search of her sister.Meanwhile, while testing out Archie's sub, Jake stumbles across, not only the artifact but the Princess too. When he finds out that Davy Jones intends to use it to flood the world to enlarge his domain, Jake and his friends find themselves fighting shark headed men, Davy Jones and the Dark Druids! Will this be the end of the gang??This series is one that should be way more popular than it is. It is chocked full of amazing characters, action, adventure and fantastical world building and creatures, to keep everyone wanting more. I fell in love with the world and characters way back when I read the first and here we are at number 5 and the story is still as fresh and energetic as ever.The characters are among my favourites as I find them to be "real". By that I mean that they act and behave exactly as they should. They are young people and behave like young people, they are just drawn into the trouble no matter where they go. They are extremely well written and developed and I loved each of them, even Davy Jones!!The plot was amazingly entertaining and engaging! Being book 5, I thought we may have some things rehashed in the plot, but no, as I said before, it's as fresh and entertaining as always. These authors know how to write!!!In all, this is one of my favourite series, it's right up there with Harry Potter!!! This is a massive book too, at over 18hrs, but it felt so short. I devoured it and didn't want it to end. More please ;) Lol.Jamie du Pont MacKenzie was just as good as I remembered (it was a while ago that I listened to book 4). He really is a fantastic narrator and I'm surprised he hasn't narrated more books. He brought every single character to life, gave them their own unique tone and voice and made the story so much more enjoyable. Highly highly recommend!

Wow,what an intriguing and thrilling adventure. This story kept me reading and couldn't stop. The Characters are very interesting and I loved it.

Book 5 doesn't dissapoint. The Foley's tell the continuing story of Jake Everton and his friends/family. Ready to jump into Book 6!!!

Good story.Fascinating to my 9 years old son.Flows nicely with previous books in the series.If you like the other ones, this one should also be a hit.

We love this series. In this book, we have the newly formed gang of allies in hiding, but still managing to find their way into some serious trouble. The children are on their own and must find a way to pull together, if they can manage to deal with the Bellisima that seems to be causing quite a bit of distraction, and not a little bit of jealousy in their midst as well. This series is always a fun read, full of excitement, humor, and wonderful adventure. My whole family loved it (I have a 4th grade boy and a 2nd grade girl). We bought this as a print book, because the audible format wasn't available at that time. Later we bought the Audible format, too. It really is a wonderful series. I highly, highly recommend it. And the narrator of the Audible edition is superb. We love it and can't wait for the next one to be available.

More exciting new characters and an under water adventure that is surprising and entertaining. More friends are in need of help, and what a bunch they are.
