Loads of fun, very fast, very action-packed. Recommend for fans of Percy Jackson!The first of seven in the Seven Wonders series, The Colossus Rises introduces Jack, Cass, Marco and Aly, all of whom carry the G7W gene markermanifested by the lambda-shaped upside down V on the back of the head that appears at age 14. This rare condition results in special gifts but also in death, and unless they find the curewhich is hidden in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient Worldthey will die. Their mission is to locate the seven magic loculi that house the powers that, once they are
Wow.That's pretty much how I was left feeling after this book. To say that it ends on a cliffhanger is a gross understatement. Luckily, it's one that has me jonesing for the next book in the series. Fall 2013 can't come soon enough!I had a completely different experience with this book. I chose it as a classroom read aloud for my fourth graders. The trick to picking a good read aloud is to get one that's the start of a series and one that will capture the students and make them demand more. A
Original review posted on y blog:http://www.pageschaptersandbooks.blog...My Thoughts:The story follows a thirteen year old boy Jack and his friends, who also are affected by the same genetic disorder and find themselves at the Karai Institute on an island that is hidden away at middle of nowhere basically.

13 year old Jack Mckinley got hit by a car one morning and almost died in the operating table. When he woke up, he realized he was no longer in a hospital where he was rushed into but instead he was transported in a remote place, completely far from where he lives, known as the Karai Institute. There he discovered through the help of Professor Bhegad that he has a rare genetic marker called as the G7W and he needed to get the treatment which the Karai institute can provide or he's going to die.
As the first book in a new series with a grand name (Seven Wonders), The Colossus Rises is a medium-paced action-adventure that will hold the interest of average to advanced readers. Reluctant readers would find the all-absorbing Percy Jackson and the Olympians Boxed Set series more entertaining.While it doesn't bode well that within minutes of finishing the book I'd forgotten the name of the main character, Jack (looked it up again) and his friends were pleasant company for the most part. The
This was the first book in the Seven Wonders series and I have had it to read for awhile. My son (8 years old) and I ended up reading it together. It was a very fun and well done middle grade adventure fantasy. My 8 year old son and I enjoyed it a ton. There are, ironically, five books in the Seven Wonders series. The final book in the series, The Legend of the Rift, will release in March of 2016.Jack McKinley is an ordinary kid with a desperate problem.hes going to die any day now. Then he
