When Kate, Michael and Emma mess up at another orphanage, they are sent to a strange island called Cambridge Falls. The orphanage is a huge mansion and they are the only children at Cambridge Falls. When Kate, Michael, and Emma go exploring in the mansion, they find a hidden room where everything seems to shift around. In this room, they find a largish book that is completely empty and has a green cover, hence the name The Emerald Atlas. This green book is obviously magic. If you put a picture into it, the book will transport you to that specific instant. The children discover this book's power when it transports them to a horrible time that they have to fix.
The Emerald Atlas is a book about family ties, strong bonds, the importance of a promise, and how powerful family love is. I would recommended The Emerald Atlas to anyone. It's intense and strong. It also has a good message behind it. Grade B+

I read this book this past summer, and found it slow and hard to pick back up, but only because of the writing, as you said. I think that the storyline and plot were excellent, just needed to be executed better. I admire the fact that you caught on to the deeper meaning of it, because I was lucky to be able to pick up on the main story. I did still enjoy it, and I think you did a good job portraying this book.
Thank you! I also found the book that way. I got it in July and I'm only just now reading it! I'm going to read try second book once I find out when it comes out.
