A few chapters in and I was wondering how the heck I was going to finish this book. I persevered, and something interesting happened. I found myself actually wanting to read. I was reading and suddenly there were pirates, and treasures, and then a guy in a homemade airplane falls from the sky. Then we're cruising through all these dangerous towns in Africa and then we're learning about Apartheid. In case you missed it the first time - there. The book is marketed as an environmental read so I was expecting a lot of preachiness, but there wasn't that much.

I thought the author did an excellent job talking about environmental issues and Apartheid on a level that young readers can understand. Roy wove all the environmental issues into the adventure, so it didn't feel like a slap in the face. Since this isn't my favorite genre, I probably won't read anymore in this series, but I enjoyed this book quite a bit. When I moved passed my bias and looked at the book for the purpose and audience it was written, I found that it was quite good. Nov 29, Isabella rated it it was amazing.

But I will say that Roy is also dealing with some darker themes--mob violence in South Africa, for instance, and modern-day pirates, as well. And yet he always finds such positivity even when Al is confronting major philosophical questions--like what causes people to commit such evil acts--or why humans seem so focused on destroying the planet. What we're really excited about is that Al is starting to become a serious environmentalist. In Seas of South Africa, he befriends Los, an ingenious young man from Soweto, and Los inspires Al to actively strive to save the oceans. Al's mission couldn't be more timely in light of what we know is going on now--with the apocalyptic prediction of the collapse of the oceans in 2, So Al just becomes more and more visionary as this terrific series progresses, and more and more complex, too.

Not unlike Roy's other novels, this book was extraordinarily well-written, and well-researched. Roy for yet another book that met our every expectation!
