This is a really cool book. It tought me lots of things about space. The reason I found this book is (BASICLY) I loved angry birds at the time, so I was playing the "Angry Birds Space" game and when I paused the game an add came up. It said get the new angry birds book. I told my parents to buy me it for my birthday and the next thing I new it I got that very cool book.8

This is an amazing book! It is about a boy, named Ephraim, who's ancestors searched for the mystical Fountain of Youth. It contains three families: Appledore- Smith, the Darlings who are the caretakers of the water castle, and the "rival", the Wylies. They all live in a town called Crystal Springs. Crystal Springs is an odd place. Everyone there lives over a 100 years old and the area is full of radiation. Ephriam Appledore-Smith moved to the water castle in Crystal Springs due to his father who has a severe medical issue. The house is full of strange extensions and a humming sound. He later learns of the curing water of the Fountain of Youth. Will it cure his father? He sets out for help from Will Wylie and Mallory Green/Darlings. Together the trio get trapped between the endless school work of reality and the mystical Fountain of Youth.

I absolutely loved this book! I thought it was very dramatic and had lots of suspense. I loved how the characters changed and grew from the beginning to the end of the story. I also really liked how the main character Dan was able to take charge and be the "man" in the family. I would highly recommend this book to any 4th grade student!
