Five-star review of Qualify (Atlantis Grail) by Vera Nazarian
I shouldn’t have enjoyed reading this YA novel as much as I did. The imagination and ingenuity of the author and her first-person present tense narrator were amazing. How did this escape my notice before this? I’m now eager to read the next entry in the four-book series. A huge, extinction event asteroid is approaching Earth, but aliens claiming to be descendants of the ancient human race who fled when Atlantis disappeared under the sea have come to save a portion of the population. Teens, first selected through regional contests throughout the world, must compete for the coveted positions. Among them are the four Gs, the story’s narrator Gwen and her two brothers and sister George, Gordy and Gracie Lark. All of their friends and fellow competitors as well as the Atlanteans have rounded personalities. I wish I’d written it.
