Charlie Thorne and the Lost City

By: Stuart Gibbs

Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller

In this sequel to the New York Times bestselling Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation—which #1 New York Times bestselling author Chris Grabenstein called “a real page-burner”—Charlie searches for Charles Darwin’s hidden treasure in South America.

Charlie Thorne is a genius. Charlie Thorne is a fugitive. Charlie Thorne isn’t even thirteen.

After saving the world, Charlie is ready to take it easy in the Galapagos Islands. That is, until she’s approached by the mysterious Esmeralda Castle, who has a code she knows only Charlie can decipher. In 1835, Charles Darwin diverted his ship’s journey so he could spend ten months in South America on a secret solo expedition. When he returned, he carried a treasure that inspired both awe and terror in his crew. Afterward, it vanished, never to be seen again…

But Darwin left a trail of clues behind for those brave and clever enough to search for it. Enter Charlie Thorne. In a daring adventure that takes her across South America, Charlie must crack Darwin’s 200-year-old clues to track down his mysterious discovery—and stay ahead of the formidable lineup of enemies who are hot on her tail.

When an ancient hidden treasure is at stake, people will do anything to find it first. Charlie may be a genius, but is she smart enough to know who she can trust?

SO COOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!

I loved the whole thing, but the thing that was probably my favorite was the whole “mutant creatures” thing. Learning about that missing link is fascinating! I am excited to read the next book. 😁

A cliff hanger

I like this book because it’s funny and cool and it makes you realize what a master mind Charlie is.

Amazing!

This book transports you to the tropical jungle and takes you for a ride. You become so attached to the characters that you feel sad when the book ends! Whether while i was crocheting or cleaning this book kept me hooked. Stuart Gibbs has got me on the edge of my seat!

Lots of fun!!

What another great and fun story! Great suspense and thought about the storyline. Can’t wait for the next book!
