Thirteen-year-old Bud Thompson couldn't care less about being popular. Instead, he loves to dream up cool inventions like those of his heroes-Edison, Tesla, Ford, and his workaholic father. After Bud becomes the youngest Space Center intern ever, he learns that he and his sister Sara will be traveling with their father on an exciting assignment to explore life-forms below the ice sheet in the Antarctica. Bud is more than ready for an adventure.

After arriving in the frozen tundra, Bud befriends Peter Roberts, a wheelchair-bound computer whiz who shares the same interests and is the same age as Bud. The boys discover a way to participate in the expedition's scientific research, and it is not long before they are privy to the major discovery of intelligent life that exists below sea level. But when an expedition explorer is unexpectedly attacked during the first manned exploration mission to the ancient lake, Bud and Peter suddenly realize that their newfound knowledge has just put them in grave danger.

Now it is up to the two young inventors to not only save themselves, but also the expedition-before it is too late.

Store Description

Black Sun Compass is a home based operation located in Wilson, NC. (The name holds sentimental value.) The sole proprietor "Max" is nostalgic for bodies in which Characters are enshrouded, thus his fascination with Stories in all shapes and forms. As books are an embodiment of Stories it would explain why his library is overflowing with volumes that need new homes. With a collection of 20+ years and growing, there are many things that will not even be listed so if there is something in particular you are looking for just "Ask The Seller". ("Max" also enjoys the hunt so if he does not have it in the collection he'll be happy to help you find it.)
