The Lost Compass (Fog Diver, 2) Paperback – July 25, 2017

This was a great follow-up to The Fog Diver! I loved getting a closer look at the relationships between the crew, particularly getting to see Chess through Hazel's eyes in the excerpts from her captain's log. And the way those entries were labeled, though... X'D Oh, my word, ALL the mixed-up references! Things got pretty intense in this installment, but I loved how they kept each other going and supported each other and didn't give up, no matter how hopeless it seemed. <3 Oh, and watching Loretta find her place in the crew was pretty fun, too. ;)I think the best part of the book (and the last one) for me is how utterly normal the kids' interactions are. Okay, not all of them...being prepared to stab new acquaintances isn't really that normal...but so many of them! The goofiness, the banter, the finding something new and playing around with it until it's totally unrecognizable--it's all just so perfectly kid! And yet it never comes off as forced or unnatural in any way. Just beautifully done!I really liked meeting the people of Port Oro, although there were some I was skeptical of at first. And I loved how our crew was just instinctively willing to help, even when they didn't think they were. <3 And the worldbuilding was so good and consistent--even to conditions that would horrify a modern reader being a source of envy and awe for kids coming from worse surroundings. Very, very nicely done.Again, it's the relationships that absolutely make this book for me, and thankfully, there was no repetition of the bits that bothered me most in the first one. Another winner!4.5 starsContent--a number of uses of "butt"; arguments and insults; a few substituted expressions (e.g. "thank fog"); violence, including murder (not graphic, but stark); mention of blood and wounds (not graphic); people threatened by various machines; a few bathroom references

The main characters are scathingly brilliant. They are clever, tough, fun, compassionate, real, inventive, believable-they take great risks out of love. They are the heart of an amazing story. You will not want to put it down. They are in a world that is dangerous and you have to read it to understand it. We who are living now are ancient to them. And how we have lived has created disasters for them. But they find out new things. I am a voracious reader and a critical reader. I am hard to please. But my niece told me about this story and it was really great. Don't miss it.

I really enjoyed this series and i am 76! I read all the books for summer reading for my grandsons entering 5th and 7th grades. New futuristic concept with great characters, each one with special honed abilities but not a super power book. I liked book one best and its a stand alone but i was so interested and caught up in the story i had to read book two.

Fast paced adventure, INCREDIBLE world building and setting, funny and endearing characters.

My son and several of his friends (8&9 years old) just LOVED this second book in the series (FOG DIVER is the first book). They talk about it all the time. We are eagerly waiting for a 3rd? We just gave this series as a birthday gift to an 8 year old girl and she read both books within the week of receiving the books. Her mom is reading them now and I can't wait to "book club" with her :) !

My son, who isn’t a fan of reading, loved TheFog Diver so much that he immediately found The Lost Compass to read as well. He, of course, he’d me read the book because he lies it so much. It’s just as good as the first book. It doesn’t slack off or lose pace. We highly recommend it!

This book was so good AAAAAAAAA!To people wondering if they should read this book, do it!! You won’t regret it :)

I really liked this book but I need a 3rd book more moutines more people and the fog be loweredSooooo please make a third book oh and get this book it's really good
