About this audiobook
It's an adventure of a lifetime when Cruz Coronado sets sail for the shores of Iceland and Norway aboard the Explorer Academy ship to continue his studies at sea. But, things take a turn while exploring the icy north, when he embarks on a dangerous mission to uncover the first piece of an important puzzle his mother left behind. In the exciting follow-up to The Nebula Secret in the 7-book Explorer Academy series, Cruz, Sailor, and Emmett, along with their new ally Bryndis, embark on their first globe-trotting mission aboard the ship Orion. Cruz jumps right back into school and starts using the latest technology in submersible underwater dives, but is soon reminded of the dangers of exploration when his equipment fails and he almost drowns. Determined to keep his eyes on the prize, Cruz sneaks away to try to find answers, but unknowingly lures his friends into bigger trouble. When a friend of Cruz's mom meets an untimely end, Cruz's luck really seems about to run out and the questions multiply. What does the message mean? Where will it lead? Who is following him? And why? This captivating book is the sequel every Explorer Academy fan is waiting to read!

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is Nat Geo's first fictional middle-grade book. It wasn't a hit here- but it was full of beautiful illustrations and plenty of science.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I appreciate that the author makes real science and real places exciting. The diversity in the characters is also a plus. Also, the illustrations and the lay-out of this book is one of the best I have ever seen. In the back of the book is a appendix called All the Truth Behind the Fiction. This is exceptional, again I have never seen it in any other fiction book for children.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An enjoyable adventure - especially for kids, but I found it to be an easy and entertaining read for me as well. Trueit also does an amazing job of research to bring new techolonogy and science into these novels. She highlights the adventure but in doing so offers problem solving skills, team work, and friendship as models - again especially for young readers.
