編輯推薦:Grade 5–9—Sixteen-year-old Marco Polo lives with his grandfather in their family home in Venice, waiting eagerly for his father's return from his voyage east and getting himself and his friend Amelio into trouble. In a devastating turn, Marco's uncle arrives without his father, explaining that Niccolo was captured by ferocious humanlike creatures that attacked their group. Determined to do anything he can to save him, Marco vows to join the rescue effort and bring his father home. Using an inscription from The Travels of Marco Polo as its inspiration, Jordan's novel plunges readers into a world of sorcery, unknown territory, and magical beings. Though replete with adventure and suspense, it suffers under the weight of anachronistic and chatty dialogue. While purporting to be a historical fantasy, contemporary phrases, sentiment, and colloquialisms prevent readers from getting lost in the world that Jordan creates. With so many other fantasy adventures available, it's easy to pass on this one.
內(nèi)容簡介:In order to rescue his father, 16-year-old Marco Polo sets off into an unknown world, where magic reigns. Now in paperback.
At sixteen, Marco Polo yearns for adventure. He wants to follow in the footsteps of his father, a famous explorer, but instead he is in training to become the head accountant for the Polo family fortune. When his father vanishes while on a dangerous mission to the Unknown Lands, Marco knows that it's up to him to bring him home. He sets out on a rescue mission with his best friend Amelio, but before long Marco will realize that his mission is far larger and more pressing than he thought: the fate of the whole world may turn on the outcome of his journey.
This thrilling untold story of Marco Polo's first adventure is packed with Asian magic, swashbuckling swordfights, overwhelming odds, and the ultimate battle between good and evil.
