My thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

DNF at page 89.  It just didn't work for me.  Not a bad book, but too much suspension of disbelief for me.  It didn't grab me.  It does have some interesting information about an old ship that was discovered under where the Twin Towers were after the 9/11 attack in NYC.  So nice weaving of fact into the fiction.  It just wasn't enough to sustain my interest.  

No star rating, because I didn't hate it enough to rate it poorly and I didn't enjoy it enough to rate it on the higher side.  

Not every book is for every reader.  This one wasn't for me, but it might be for you.  

Note: this has no star rating on GoodReads.  Unable on NetGalley to submit a review without a star rating, so went with 2 stars, since I didn't hate it, but didn't like it to go higher with my rating.
