This is a great read for its target age. My 9 year old son will love it but even my 14 year old daughter is taken with it. The story is fresh and different; It's a dystopian novel but not at all usual. Great plot twists and diverse characters with an intriguing mystery keep the action going. The author reveals the storyline piece by piece while skillfully building the world around the characters.

My only complaint is this - the author cleverly has the characters mix up words and ideas from history (Made Marian and Robbing the Hood) but supposedly these stories come from bits of history collected in a scrapbook by Chess's father. If they read these stories they would know that the word was "kaleidoscope" not "colliding scope". Just a thought, but not one that's going to bother young readers.

I have no qualms in recommending this series for all ages. I'm looking forward to the next book.

The Fog Diver Joel Ross 9780062352934 Books Reviews

My son loved that book and wants to buy the second one so badly because he likes the book so much
Went into this for something “different” after binge reading Percy Jackson with the nephews. WHOLLY recommend this - fast paced steampunk gem with strong, well rounded characters and great plot. That’s all I’m saying, because my nephew is sitting here begging for me to “buy the next book already” 😅
The Fog Diver is such a great book! My son has never willing read, much less finished a book that wasn’t Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He LOVES this book. He’s read it TWICE now and he want to be Chess for Halloween. He had me read it and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. The story is fun and new, honestly I’ll probably reread it as well.
9 yeard old son read this in one weekend and was so immersed in the story that he insisted on buying the sequel (The Lost Compass) immediately. He talks about the characters with his friend that he ended up sharing the books with. We just got them back and I can't wait to sit down and read this story.
This semi-apocalyptic book takes place hundreds of years after around present day. How Chess and his crew interpret the "early" human activities is a hilarious add-on to this story. The magic of this book can be seen throughout the story as Chess has to save Mrs.E from fog sickness. He finds out his past and future was and will be surprising and dangerous.
It's like Kevin Costner's Water World being told with Roald Dahl's whimsical language. It's set in the far future, after the earth has been choked by a fog of Nanites (tiny pollution scrubbing machines that took over and started their own factories making more of themselves). Humans had to find higher ground above the fog. Civilization is tiered, with the richest at the top of the mountains and the poorest closest to the fog. Like Water World, everything is constructed out of remnants of the civilization mankind had to be leave behind. And like Roald Dahl, there is a lot of clever use of language. Common phrases and objects from the past (our present) are misinterpreted adding quite a bit of humor for the reader to catch on to.
I was a little bummed it is the first in a series. I am getting "series-ed" out. But since I connected with the the characters I'll definitely read the second to see how it all plays out.
I'm a fifth grade teacher and would even consider this as a read aloud (which is a big honor because we only have time for about 5 books over the year).
I have been looking for a new book series to get my 8 year old daughter excited about after she worked her way through several of Rick Riordan's series. She LOVED the Percy Jackson series and then moved on to his other series, but lost interest mid-way through his KANE CHRONICLES series. I think it was a combination of author overload (as the KANE CHRONICLES series marked the 12th book in a row by Rick Riordan she was starting. She even read the Percy Jackson- narrated companion books about Greek Gods/Heroes) and the fact that she was missing the Percy Jackson character in the world.

In any event, I worried that she would stall out after losing interest in Riordan's KANE CHRONICLES. Instead of forcing her to finish that series, I let her cut bait and she decided to give this book, and its sequel, a try.

And she's really loving it. She enjoys the world, the main character and often comments on the humor -- which is something that really appealed to her in the Percy Jackson books.

So... All good. Anything that keeps her interested in books is a Win in my book.
