Atlantis Rising by T.A. Barron

Atlantis Rising by T.A. Barron - 371 pages

Promi is a thief that has finally been caught by the high priest of Ellegandia.  It is there that he discovers that the stories of magic are real, as is a prophecy that seems to be about him.  He gets caught up in a fight against the high priest and the spirit Narkazan who are trying to steal all the magic to take over both Earth and the immortal realm.
I really liked this book.  It is basically the story of how Atlantis came to be a mythical island in the middle of the ocean.  While it is a good book for kids, I really think teen boys would enjoy the series.  In fact, I'm already thinking of several in the teen book club to recommend it to.
