Becca tells the ship's Captain, "We were born in India and lived there just as long as the other countries. I liked them all. I see myself as a sum of all these places - Britain, America, India. I belong to nowhere in particular'" (Mowll 27). Clearly, these are not average children, but average children could not survive the adventures they will encounter, and that is why the author gives them extraordinary characteristics.

The children are extremely brave in the face of some of adventures they face, because they are independent but also because they are sure of themselves and their abilities. They never turn away from a situation, no matter how frightened they may be inside. The author notes, "Very quietly they advanced in single file. As they descended farther, Dough noticed that the air grew more humid and the walls of the tunnel smelled even worse. The passageways looked older again, and he retched as he tripped over the lower half of a human arm, the flesh gnawed by rats" (Mowll 181). The children are children, and there is no mistaking that, but their qualities help them along the way, and their character traits make them the best-suited type of children to survive in a daring book like this.

In conclusion, this is a beautifully crafted book with maps, illustrations, and a cover that looks like an old diary.
The characters are extremely well suited to their roles in the book, and it is their temperaments and characteristics that help them through their daring situations to solve the mystery. The illustrations, maps, and other elements of the book all come together to make the adventure seem almost real, and the engaging personalities of the children help keep that illusion as the book continues. This is an excellent example of a many-faceted book that uses great plotting, characterization, and unusual elements to command the reader's attention from beginning to end......
